From January 31, 2023 post.
Today the Hendersonville Fire Department takes one step closer to a new Fire Station 1 as the Boyd Park site officially closes and construction ramps up.
The construction period moving from the outgrown Hendersonville Fire Station 1 and completion of the new 19,750 square foot station requires flexibility from Hendersonville Fire Department staff and the collaboration of fantastic community partners. Construction fencing goes up today as Station 1 demolition ramps up. The estimated completion of the new station is expected in the Spring of 2024.
In preparation of Station 1’s demolition, Hendersonville Fire’s administrative team, City and County Managers, Emergency Services Director Brissie, and Valley Hill Fire & Rescue’s Fire Chief Tim Garren developed a plan to relocate and house crews strategically throughout Hendersonville to uphold HFD’s commitment to efficient response times to incidents occurring in the City.
Boyd Park’s tennis court and mini-golf amenities officially closed at the end of January as construction fencing goes up and final preparations are made before demolition begins. The City still provides two tennis courts in Patton Park with plans to expand the court offerings. In September 2022, City Council approved the redevelopment of the tennis court and former racquetball areas in Patton Park. When completed, the new amenity will include six dedicated pickleball courts and two dedicated tennis courts at Patton Park. Construction on the courts is expected to start in the summer of 2023.
Sitework is underway in Edwards Park which will house the reimagined Laura E. Corn Mini-Golf. Underutilized for years and only a few steps away, Edwards Park will continue to house the Boy Scout huts as well as a new accessible miniature golf course, concession stand and playground. Local artists and organizations are collaborating to blend old and new course features from the Boyd Park location that honors history and tradition in the newly designed Edwards Park expected to open in the fall of 2023.
