It appears the construction work at the Spring Street Mini Park is nearly finished. After years of wear and tear, new playground equipment has been installed along with some physical improvements — which should have families in the neighborhood rejoicing, especially as summer kicks in.

I tried to get a firm opening date from the Parks Department (a sign on the fence simply says opening in “early June”), but couldn’t get one. So keep a lookout. By the way: That little spot of park land was purchased by the city wayyyyyyy back in 1969.
