Tree planting took place at Richardson’s Memorial Park (601 Centennial Blvd.) this week, with redbuds, Zexmenias and Chinese pistache now beautifying the park. Rock and mulch landscaping is scheduled for next week. The trees replace several dead and dying trees that were removed earlier this year following safety concerns raised by nearby residents. Certified Parks and Recreation staff with expertise in tree health assessed the area and confirmed that the trees posed a heightened risk of structural failure, creating a public safety hazard.
Residents who notice potentially hazardous trees or other safety concerns in local parks are encouraged to contact the Parks and Recreation Department at 972-744-4300.
