Brookfield residents have approved the bonding project for parks improvements by about 260 votes.  There was approximately a 25% voter turn out.

The $5.3 million project is for two areas in Brookfield.  The Cadigan Park portion of the improvements includes a new drainage system, two new synthetic turf fields, new basketball and tennis courts as well as renovated bathrooms, parking and walking paths. 

The restrooms at Cadigan park are more than 40 years old and the tennis courts are currently closed. 

Work on the Town Beach side will include a new road crossing safety system from Cadigan Park, an ADA compliant path system and drop off area, a rebuilt seawall and renovations to the volleyball court.  A $750,000 state grant is being used to replace existing buildings with one multi-use facility. 

The primary sea wall at the park is failing and there are soil erosion and drainage issues.  Some landscaping will be done at the park with expanded picnic and seating areas.
