Crest Lake Park Construction Continues

CLEARWATER, FL — Residents may notice construction activity in Crest Lake Park in the coming weeks due to an outside contractor correcting a series of stormwater and erosion issues near the lake.

To complete the project, various amenities in the park will be closed in phases to allow residents and visitors to use the park safely and as much as possible.

Beginning Monday, Oct. 25, the Veteran's Plaza parking lot and a section of the interloop lake trail on the north side of the park will be closed for three weeks. The north dog park gate will be locked during this time; however, the dog park will remain open. Use the parking located along South Glenwood Avenue and the Doggie Days Parking Lot.

Beginning Wednesday, Nov. 3, the west part of the lake and the surrounding trail section will be closed and reopen Monday, Nov. 22.

Beginning Tuesday, Nov. 9, the east interloop lake trail along South Lake Drive, the western section of the interloop lake trail and the north Lake Pavilion area will be closed and reopen Monday, Nov. 22. Temporary fencing and sidewalk barricades will be installed on the interloop trail parallel at the cross streets of Harvard Street and Rainbow Drive.

Beginning Wednesday, Nov. 17, the handicapped parking areas along South Glenwood Avenue will be closed until Friday, Dec. 3. Temporary fencing and sidewalk barricades along the interloop trail to the north, south and east of the rain gardens will be installed as well. Visitors should avoid the area immediately surrounding the 300 block of South Glenwood Avenue.
