Hammond Park Field To Close For Turf Replacement, Erosion Control

SANDY SPRINGS, GA — The multi-purpose field at Hammond Park will close in January for up to six months as the City of Sandy Springs completes an erosion control and turf replacement program at the park.

The Hammond Park Erosion Control and Park Improvements Project is scheduled to begin Jan. 4, 2021. The first phase of this project will require the multi-purpose field to repair soil erosion and divert stormwater runoff. These repairs seek to prevent future flooding throughout the park. Following, new turf will be installed. The combined projects will require a closure expected through July 1, 2021.

Additionally, tennis court No. 4 will close for two weeks from Jan. 4-18, 2021, reopening Jan. 19. Construction adjacent to this court will include building a retaining wall to divert water runoff and to prevent silt build up on the courts.

Updates related to the project and reopening of the field will be posted on the city’s website and on social media @SandySpringGA and @COSSRecandParks.
