The contractor will be permitted to work in the park Mondays through Saturdays between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m.  However, most work should be complete by 5 p.m.  Weather permitting, construction is scheduled to be complete by June 2008.

During construction, the majority of the park will be an active work zone, and people will be asked to stay out to prevent injuries or accidents. The off-leash dog park will be temporarily moved to a 4-acre area in the southwest corner of the park near 15th Street. This is the only part of the park that will not be affected by construction. Additional construction impacts include:

• Brief traffic delays during work hours on 164th and 172nd Avenues to allow construction equipment to enter and exit the park.

• Occasional parking restrictions on 164th Avenue North of 15th Street (dog park entrance will remain open).

• Noise from back-up alarms. heavy equipment & other activities associated with construction work.

• Some vibration from asphalt rollers & fresh asphalt smells during paving.

• Dust during dry weather.

Design and construction of Pacific Community Park is being funded by park impact fees, which are paid whenever a new residential property is developed, and the real estate excise tax, which is paid whenever property is sold. Maintenance of the park will be funded by the Greater Clark Parks District, a special district approved and funded by voters in the unincorporated urban area of Clark County in 2005.
