Rain gardens, native plantings, rebuilt seawall and educational signage make the park a demonstration of green design principles. The waterfront promenade, walking trails, playgrounds, pavilions, splash park and events areas insure the park is meaningful to all members of the community, whether for large events, daily play or breezy afternoons on the lakefront. This master plan is the answer to a prior time in which this land was slated for private development. The local community rose up and challenged the idea of privatization, and their voices were heard. Today, the effort continues to create a publicly accessible and friendly northern edge to Lake Toho. This park project, following the master plan, is still growing. It will be complete at the end of the year. Meanwhile, the city is pursuing redevelopment opportunities adjacent to the park consistent with the larger plan vision. 44-51.indd 51 3/25/14 4:53 PM
