About


Weaver Park harkens back to the 1950s when every neighborhood park had spaces to play ball and racquet sports.

Excitement is Building!

Construction is scheduled to begin the week of July 7 and last into early 2026 to complete on the Weaver Park Improvement Project:

  • New playground and picnic tables
  • New walking path
  • Significant ballfield improvements including new dugouts, fencing, a batting cage, a bullpen, and visitor seating

These new enhancements build upon several improvements already completed at Weaver Park including new ballfield lighting; rebuilt dual-lined pickleball and tennis courts with new seating, fencing, and lighting; a resurfaced basketball court with new goals; repaved parking lots; and the improved accessibility and park circulation by rerouting of Glenn’s Creek Greenway and adding a new pedestrian bridge.

Please note the east side of the park between Glenn’s Creek and Murdock Avenue will temporarily close during construction. This area includes the picnic shelter, restrooms, basketball court, baseball field, walking loop (part of Glenn’s Creek Greenway), playground, and batting cages. This closure is essential to ensure safety of the community and construction crews while work is underway to replace the playground and improve ballfield conditions.

During the closure, two portable restrooms will be available for public use in the tennis/pickleball court parking lot, located on the Merrimon Avenue side of the park. The tennis/pickleball courts will remain open during the construction and improvements.
