Fall 2025 - Feedback on Draft Concept

Level of Engagement: Involve

In October-November 2025, the project team provided a draft concept design to the community and solicited feedback. The community input gathered will inform the park's final draft design.

Outcomes from this round of engagement will be shared in advance of the final engagement, which is expected to take place in Spring 2026.
