Comiskey Park Project Delayed

A $2.4 million project to revitalize one of Dubuque’s parks has been delayed. City officials had initially planned to complete the improvements to Comiskey Park by May 26th, but a decision to paint the surface of the park’s new splash pad now has officials estimating a completion date of June 27. Along with the splash pad, the first phase of the Comiskey Park project, which began construction last year, will add a new playground, a basketball court, park seating, bike racks and pavilions. The city began designing the project in 2020 with its Re-Imagine Comiskey campaign. In a report, a planned second phase of improvements includes construction of additional playground equipment, two basketball courts, a parking lot, trails and a soccer field, all originally projected to cost $1.2 million.
