Mayor Dixon Announces the Start of the Swann Park Restoration
Mayor Sheila Dixon and Dave Wickersham of Honeywell announced that construction of a new and improved Swann Park will begin next week when Honeywell starts restoration of the park.
"The restoration of Swann Park would not have happened without a strong partnership between Honeywell and the city. Honeywell stepped up," Mayor Dixon said today at a groundbreaking ceremony at Swann Park. "I want to thank Honeywell for stepping up and for fulfilling its commitment. We look forward to the new and improved Swann Park."
Honeywell and Baltimore City have worked in partnership to restore the 11-acre park.
Wickersham, who is Honeywell's Direct of Global Remediation Services, said, "We look forward to seeing the park once again full of activity and available to all those who have spent so many years enjoying it. The users of Swann Park will have a wonderful facility when the work is done."
Honeywell expects to complete the Swann Park restoration and related park improvements by August. The park is scheduled to open next spring after the city completes its work.
Honeywell will prepare and seed the ball fields, make water and electrical improvements and build foundations for lighting, dugouts, fences, bleachers, pedestrian pathways and roadways before turning the park over to the city later this year.
