Following
several
public input sessions, construction began in early May 2015 on a $2.4
million project at Father Travassos Park to upgrade the existing soccer
field, build a new dek
hockey facility and install a water playground area with benches,
lighting and walking trails. The project is part of a $10 million in
improvements to Britland Park and the addition of a new

existing

from throughout the region," he added. The project, which is advocated
by Fall River Mass in Motion, is expected to be completed by
