A conceptual plan for a community park was <br /> completed in 1986 and was included in the County's 1988 Master Recreation and Parks Plan. Orange County <br /> developed a picnic area, playground and parking in 1990, but further construction was halted when a series of <br /> severe storms struck the area and portions of the property were used for the storage of storm debris and yard <br /> waste. The Fairview Public Campus Master Plan Committee developed a master plan in 2005. Park <br /> construction began in late 2009 and the new Fairview Park opened in June of 2011. <br /> Location/ Users: <br /> Located in the Fairview Community within the Town of Hillsborough. Fairview Park attracts mainly day users <br /> from the adjacent community. <br /> 3-8 <br />
