The event will include an update on the status of the process, results from the first online survey, and input opportunities for the three initial park concepts. The second online survey will also kickoff at this community event for the community to identify preferred elements they would like to see in the park.

When: Thursday, Sept. 29; 5:30-7 p.m.
