Phase 1 of the Les Lacs Pond renovation is complete, and visible work on Phase 2 is set to begin this week. Drone footage captured this week shows the extensive progress made so far and offers a look at the transformation already underway.
Phase 2 is set to finish by November 2025. For safety reasons, the site must remain closed during this phase. The contractor will be operating heavy equipment such as tractors and trenchers to bring in topsoil, lay sod, and install irrigation. Once the heavier work is complete and it’s safe for visitors, Addison plans to reopen the space to the public before the project’s final completion.
The Town has received several questions about the final depth of the pond. Under the alternate option selected by the City Council, the renovated pond will range from 4 feet deep at its shallowest points to 8 feet at its deepest. A 2-foot clay liner has been installed throughout to support water quality, durability, and habitat health.
Stay tuned for more updates and a look at the next phase as construction continues.
