Venus Park will be closed Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. until May 27 to facilitate restroom and parking lot construction. The public is advised to avoid the construction area for safety reasons.
Additionally, Venus Park will be fully closed on Friday, May 16, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. for the Route 66 Play Day event.
Phase II of the Venus Park expansion is now underway. This phase includes a significant expansion of the parking lot and the addition of restroom facilities. The project is expected to be completed by mid-May and will also feature the development of a multi-use sports field to the west of the existing field.
Temporary closures of specific sections of the park may occur as needed due to public safety concerns. The Town will issue closure notices and requests the community to remain alert for these announcements.
“Venus Park is the heart of many recreational activities within the Town of Edgewood. It is used for numerous town and private events, sports league practices and games, and cross-country events,” stated Linda Burke, Community Liaison.
