Improvements to Idlewild Road Park include a new 8 foot wide bicycle and pedestrian connection to Margaret Wallace Road and a new skatepark. Other improvements to walkways and wayfinding may be necessary as part of this project.  A downloadable version of the plan is at the bottom of the page. The skatepark survey is closed. We will post a final concept plan for the park and skatepark in Spring 2026.
