3 South East Parks Design: Ewell Gantz, Joe Jackson, South End
The City of Lancaster needs your help! We're redesigning 3 neighborhood parks in South East and South Side neighborhoods: Ewell Gantz Playground, Joe Jackson Tot Lot, and South End Park.
Joe Jackson and Ewell Gantz will be under construction in late summer and fall of 2026. View the plans for these parks in Phase 6, below.
South End Park planning is still underway - we're still accepting public feedback on this plan! Construction anticipated in 2028 or 2029. View the concept plans for South End Park in Phase 7, below.
Phases
Construction of Joe Jackson & Ewell Gantz
During this phase, we'll work on getting contractors on board and beginning construction. Joe Jackson and Ewell Gantz are slated to be under construction beginning in August or September of 2026, depending on the arrival of delayed playground equipment from overseas.
South End Park will follow when funding allows (likely 2027-2028).
Timelines are subject to change.
