Knoch Park Maintenance Facility Completion
In February of 2013, after years of study and conversation with the community, the Park Board of Commissioners approved a contract for a newly designed facility to replace the Knoch Park Central Maintenance Facility. Demolition of the existing Barn (built in 1965) and Maintenance Shed (built in the late 1970’s) and construction of a new replacement Central Maintenance Facility at Knoch Park was the original recommendation of the 2009 Facility Study and 2010 Review Team Assessment.
