Costs include survey preparation, design and construction documents, tree removal, shrub pruning, pathway construction, planting, pavilion restoration, play area fencing.

This shady area located in the park’s far southwest corner contains an eight-sided stone pavilion, located atop a small knoll. Surrounding the structure are mature Canadian hemlocks, oaks and white pines introduction of new plantings, chosen from the original Binney Park plant list (Appendix B) above an understory of mature rhododendron and spiraea shrubs. The hemlocks have been infested with Wooly Adelgid and appear to be in decline, and the shrubs have become overgrown and have lost their original form. A stepping stone walkway leads from the park roadway up the south side of the knoll. A children’s play area surrounded by a grove of dawn redwood trees, stands adjacent to the knoll.
