Media Advisory
Tour of Clean Up Work in Point Pleasant Park
(Tuesday, February 10, 2004)-- Peter Bigelow, HRM's Manager of Real Property Planning, will lead members of the news media on a tour of the clean up operation now underway in Point Pleasant Park. This tour is a follow up to the news conference and media tour held in late November, 2003, that provided the news media with a briefing and full tour of the extensive damage in the park.
With the exception of one weekend in October, 2003, the park has been closed to the public since Hurricane Juan caused substantial damage in late September. Approximately 70% of the park's trees were lost as a result of the hurricane.
When: Wednesday, February 11, 2004
Time: 1:00 pm
Where: Point Pleasant Park work depot, Point Pleasant Dr.
As there is limited parking at the depot, news media members are asked to park on Point Pleasant Dr. before entering the work depot.
