Master Plan Update & Improvement Project
We are in the early stages of a project to update this cherished park. The project will update the master plan, originally created in 1975, and make the park more accessible. The update will include the five acres added to the west side of the park in 2015. Those five acres were previously located north of the park and moved to the west side by a boundary line adjustment. Throughout the project, our goal is to maintain the character of the park and honor its history and significance in the community.
Pedestrian access to the park will be improved by the Northeast 68th Street project.
The community is invited to participate in the master planning and design process. Opportunities to provide input will include a survey, concept review and public comment period. The plan will also be reviewed by the Historic Preservation Commission. Information about public input opportunities will be posted here when available.
Funding
The project is funded by real estate excise taxes collected from the sale of homes in Clark County.
