ROANOKE, Va. – Work to develop a popular Roanoke park is ahead of schedule. The parking lot has been paved, tennis courts have been added, and the new fields have been seeded at River’s Edge North Park. The city’s Parks and Recreation Department’s goal is to have the park ready to use for the Ironman race in June. "Once that’s completed, AEP will bring in the transformer and we’ll light it all up. That shouldn’t take more than 30 days from now.”After that, a final layer of asphalt will be put down and any remaining seeding will be done.
