This newly restored park will create a green living room for Downtown that has never existed before.
It will free up the Point area for more passive contemplation of history and the environment.
Anyone walking into the park day or night will be able to read and see the history of the place.
The other exciting thing about this phase is we'll be installing benches and lighting around the perimeter, which were intended to be installed in the original plan but were cut because of budget restraints.
New electrical service is critical not only for light and sound equipment but also to power the pump of the Point State Park fountain so it can reach its full height again.
This project strikes to the heart of our mission to connect people and communities to the rivers and to make the riverfronts the front yard of the city.
