Bret Harte Park Improvement Plan Updates
Updated December 7, 2018
Bret Harte Park is undergoing a major renovation by the City of San Rafael that will include the addition of a bathroom, new shade structure, new kiosk, and an improved entryway. Demolition and construction have begun.
December 7th Update
From the 12/7/18 Bret Harte Park Restroom Installation update from the San Rafael website: "The City’s contractor, McNabb Construction, has demolished the existing Arbor at Bret Harte Park and intends to begin trenching for the sewer line once the weather clears up. The shade structure should be installed by the end of the year and the long-awaited restroom should be placed and completed by the end of January 2019.
November 13th, 2018 Update
The contractor has decided for the residents safety to close the park while working. The City is anticipating on reopening the Park in early to mid-January 2019 depending on the weather. We were under the impression that the contractor was going to keep the park open during the shade structure installation but after further consideration he thought that it would be safer to close the park while work was happening. The shade structure will be installed while fabrication and testing of the bathroom occurs prior to it being shipped and installed.
