BULLHEAD CITY - The ramada at Bullhead Community Park has been the scene of plenty of events over its 30 years. One more event will bring it down, making room for a new structure that should be complete in time for Bullhead City's 25th birthday and the River Regatta. The shelter at Community Park was built in 1979 by the Bullhead City Rotary Club and local volunteers, providing a large covered area for picnics, birthday parties, family reunions, outdoor meetings and city-sponsored celebrations. Demolition of the ramada is scheduled to begin May 11 as part of a project to build a new structure. The $347,000 project was awarded in January to Tonto Construction of Colorado City and is expected to be finished by July 31. Bullhead City's 25th anniversary will be observed a month later with the third annual River Regatta, set for Aug. 29. The last major event under the ramada, appropriately, was the Rotary Club's annual Burro Barbecue, held in April as the local organization's major annual fundraiser. Residents will notice a few changes this week as protective fencing is being installed as the ramada area is transformed into a construction zone. Although the fencing will be in place, access to the ramada will remain open to the public until May 11, when demolition is scheduled to begin. Throughout construction, Bullhead Community Park will remain open to the public, although there will be restrictions confined to the construction area surrounding the ramada. Bullhead City officials urge caution and cooperation for the public during the construction period. | |
