 It was a public open space for the past decade, but is just now being formally developed as a park to include a picnic shelter, dog run, play area, and gardens. Funding is from a combination of city and state money along with private donations. The park is scheduled to open next summer. This is NPR News. Support comes from Christopher Strom Architects, design leaders in modern custom homes, lakefront retreats, and secondary living spaces.
