Village of Hastings-on-Hudson Manager, Mary Beth Murphy: Chemka Pool Update and Hillside Woods and Park Stormwater improvements - September 27, 2022

As you know the Village went to bid for restoration work in and around Scheckler’s Brook in Hillside Park and the Board of Trustees awarded the contract at the August 16th meeting. Bradhurst Construction  will be starting the restoration and improvement of the stormwater system  in Hillside Park from the Sugar Pond to the Pool on or about September 26, 2022. The plans can be viewed here.

 

The work includes the following:

 

The western side of the dam to Sugar Pond will be repaired with grouted stone riprap.

 

The culvert directly south of Sugar Pond will be replaced with a larger culvert (bridge) for continued access to the Hillside Loop Trail and the school. The culvert between the Tennis Courts and the (new) bridge will be daylighted.

 

Drainage piping east of the tennis courts will be replaced with larger pipes to accommodate larger storms. An underdrain will be installed at the northeast corner of the tennis courts, to help drain that already wet area, as well as catch additional runoff down the trail.

 

Additional drainage will be added along the southern curb of the Chemka Pool Parking lot and the curb will be restored.

 

The severely eroded slopes between the parking lot and the pool will be restored.

 

An underdrain will be installed in the northwest grassy area of the pool complex to keep that area less wet.

 

The sidewalk leading up to the Pool will be replaced with low carbon concrete sidewalk.

 

Below are some photos of some of the damage being repaired:
