Wayland Patch 8/12/11: DPW Board Hears Update on Hannah Williams Park. Don Ouellette, director of Wayland’s Department of Public Works, told the Board of Public Works Monday that renovations of Hannah Williams Park are moving forward and, should everything go perfectly as planned, he hoped to reopen the park around Oct. 15. At Monday’s meeting, Ouellette reported that he had received quotes for all of the playground equipment and that a group of individuals who had been working on planning the renovation, in cooperation with Wayland’s Recreation Department, had reached consensus regarding the play equipment they wanted to see installed. The equipment, Ouellette said, will cost about $100,000 including shipping and cargo. Wayland approved $120,000 to be spent on the park’s renovations at the April Town Meeting. In addition to that money, the Friends of Hannah Williams has collected about $14,000 toward the renovations and, Ouellette said Monday, additional funds of $4,000-$5,000 have been donated. Hannah Williams has been closed to the public since late May, and demolition took place in mid-June leaving a largely vacant dirt pile where a playscape once stood.
