Hempstead Lake SP progress report Lots of construction going on. The entrance to the park from Peninsula Blvd is closed. Exit 18 West on the Southern State Pkwy is being rebuilt and you may or may not be able to exit there. The Exit East is OK. Eagle Ave through the park is udder construction and will be repaved starting with completion of the repaving within the park. The paths are mostly complete and Field #2 should be completed today. Just some inner roadways and finishing touches.
I entered Eagle Ave through the city streets and drove south to field #1, not being sure if I could get there from the parkway going west.. I live to the east; there was no problem going east from exit 18.. Lovely day although the birding was a bit slow. It's going to take a bit before things straighten out---but, we'll be all set for the fall migration.
