Work on picnic shelters and washrooms at Strathcona Island Park got underway on May 28, and could be done this week, depending on the weather.
Work begins next week on the Gas City Campground office for the remainder of June.
Upgrades to the Echo Dale Regional Park washrooms and boat hut will proceed for much of July.
The Heritage Pavilion Building at Strathcona Island Park will be re-roofed during two to three weeks in August. The Echo Dale Regional Park swim centre will see workers there after the Labour Day weekend.
