Construction on the park—which was originally projected to open in August—has experienced setbacks due to flooding this past summer, WFDD Board President Richard Ward said.

"May and the first part of June were very wet here," Ward said. "It delayed a lot of the work that had to be done as far as the contouring of the park and the installation of sub-surface piping and cables and things like that. And then of course that delayed the planting of the grass and other plants around the park, and we're still waiting for that to germinate."

Officials said the park's grand opening is now scheduled for Nov. 6 from 2-4 p.m.
