Starting Monday, Beulah Park in Roseburg will close for renovations.

Communications Specialist Eric Johnson with the City of Roseburg said the park will get new features to enhance its character and beauty. Johnson said the Beulah Park Renovation Project will include new basketball court surfacing, shade trees, picnic tables, swing sets, artificial turf and a brand-new playground structure. The project is estimated to be finished by July.

Parks and Recreation Program Manager Kris Ammerman said the park has been enjoyed by many residents over the past few decades but “…it is time for an upgrade”. Ammerman said it will basically be a brand-new park by the time the work is done this summer.

Johnson said in addition to the new park features, a new ADA parking space and sidewalk will be installed to ensure that patrons of all ability levels can enjoy the park.

The total cost of the project is estimated at $265,000.

Beulah Park is one of Roseburg’s largest and oldest neighborhood parks at 6.85 acres. It is located in northwest Roseburg in the 1200 block of Beulah Street, between Lincoln and Nash.
