Lovelady Park
The Lovelady/Cilli Property
It's not new news that the Town's Community Preservation Fund (CPF) made Lovelady Powell's property available to us last December.
And it is not new news that we decided to create a community park from those 4 acres and the 5.5 adjoining CPF acreage known as Cilli Field. Those 5.5 acres were overgrown and tick invested for decades. The Village has proceeded to clean out the invasive overgrowth and plant 80,000 square feet of rye grass to complete phase one of the project.
Mayor Fiore appointed board members for the newly created 501(c)(3) association at the beginning of 2022, when he was still a trustee, and recently created an advisory board, chaired by Trustee Dianne Skilbred, to work with the 501(c)(3) board in developing plans and concepts for the second phase.
The walking path beneath the promenade of maples is near completion. This work restored the path that was the original drive from Ferry Road to the Pallotine Fathers retreat overlooking Noyac Bay.
This is a breathtakingly beautiful piece of land, and when completed, will be enjoyed by generations to come as community park!
