Ray Park clubhouse rebuild could miss a second deadline, pushing the reopening toward November

What happened

Parks Department staff told the board that the contractor rebuilding the Ray Park golf course clubhouse is expected to ask the city's Board of Public Works for a second deadline extension — from the current September 1 completion date to November 10 — because that board, not the Parks board, decides whether the delay is warranted. Staff report on the clubhouse delay, 0:01:19 The project's original completion date was July 1; the city already granted one extension to September 1, and staff said they are pushing the contractor to request any further extension earlier next time. Extension timeline, 0:01:50 Original July 1 opening date confirmed, 0:02:21 If a November opening holds, board members said the clubhouse restaurant is expected to be open year-round from then on, including holiday dinners, while the golf course itself closes for the season.

The outcome

No vote was taken; this was a staff update. The extension to November 10 had not been formally requested or approved as of this meeting — staff said they expected the paperwork within the next week, "but we'll see."
