This week marks a major milestone as all 57 foundation piles were installed for the future boathouse, one of the park's signature features.
Additional work includes removing unforeseen buried concrete and hauling approximately 3,000 cubic yards of excess soil off-site. The two large soil stockpiles currently on site are part of a soil surcharge program designed to reduce future ground settlement and help ensure the long-term stability of the park.
The stockpiles will remain covered for dust control and compliance with city requirements while other construction activities continue over the next year. Once the surcharge program is complete and the ground has settled to an acceptable level, the soil will be used to fill the empty PG&E pit.
