Town Point Park renovations set to begin in October

NORFOLK, VA (WAVY.com)---Norfolk's Town Point Park is getting a makeover, thanks to a public-private partnership beginning in October.

That's when the park will close for renovations and reopen next fourth of July weekend.

That's when Harborfest will be held to coincide with changes.

The $11-million dollar project will include a number of infrastructure improvements including new sidewalks, landscaping, restrooms, plus the band shell will move closer to Otter Berth. The park will also add fountains, new lighting and seating.
