Dublin residents and park-goers, Shier Rings Park is undergoing renovation. Starting today, the park's scenic areas will undergo a facelift, which means it's closing its gates to the public. But fear not—the shared-use path along Emerald Parkway is staying open for your jogging and strolling needs.
According to the City of Dublin's official news release, the pond's stone walls are the main event. Thanks to years of wear and tear, they're not just getting a quick patch-up, they're getting fully drained and repaired. And because any good renovation is all about multitasking, the city will take this closure as a chance to spruce up not just the pond but the plaza and the park's four corners, too.
But let's talk timeline—Dubliners won't have to wait too long to revisit their renovated rendezvous. If the weather decides to play nice, work is slated for completion in August. Sure, it's a bit of a wait, but a fresh park is arguably worth the absence.
