Construction on the perimeter ‘ring road’ parking lot at Ackerman Park is underway. This project aims to enhance the lot by improving surfacing, widening aisles and stalls, and increasing accessibility for all visitors. Construction is expected to continue until Thanksgiving, with portions of the lot closed during this time. Temporary parking and alternate routes will be provided to ensure a smooth experience for all users. For the latest updates, maps, and more, visit our Capital Projects page at gepark.org/projects. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we undertake these important improvements.
