Demolition of the Nike Building was completed November 2008. Parks then proceeded with a second phase, importing fill material to cover the rubble pile. The fill was covered with forest duff in January 2009. Parks is moving ahead with planting of the site in February 2009.

Project Description

Budget: $1,000,000
Construction begins: Second Quarter 2008

This project provides for the demolition or collapse and burial of the Nike Building at Discovery Park and for the restoration of approximately two acres to natural conditions.
