Project Background
On May 6, 2017, the City approved the 2017-2022 Bond Program authorizing $400,000.00 for the Gilbert Morgan Denman Jr. Park Project located in District 8. The park and former estate of Gilbert Morgan Denman, Jr. is located on 12 and a half acres of wooded area with a half mile walking trail, picnic benches, tables, parking and the Korean Pavilion, a gift from the City of Gwangju, Korea. Remnants of the Denman Estate located within the park include a pond, a small, fenced in swimming pool and a pool house with restrooms and storage.
This project will provide for the renovation of the existing pool house restrooms to comply with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) making them available for public use. The project includes four additive alternates which will provide for the replacement of the northeast and southeast doors of the pool house, a new roof membrane over the pool house and the installation of seven bollards to illuminate the existing walkway between the parking lot and the pool house restrooms. These renovations will offer park visitors with lavatory and sanitary facilities and will also include general building rehabilitation/stabilization, upgrades to electrical, mechanical, and plumbing systems, masonry repair, the demolition of the existing swimming pool, the removal of the pool's surrounding wood fences and minor drainage improvements.
