Work Continuing at the New Park.  City workers were using a front end loader and two dump trucks on Monday to relocate dirt excavated for the amphitheater construction down to the future parking lot area where it will assist in proper water drainage. Work is continuing on the stage and dressing rooms under the amphitheater structure. The ticket and office building is structurally complete, although interior finish work remains. Next week the circus comes to town and, if plans don't change, it will be located at the new park site.
