The City of Spokane Parks and Recreation is pleased to announce the first in a series of public open houses for the Riverfront Park Master Plan 2014. The Public Open House will be held on Wednesday, November 6, 2013 from 4 to 5:30 p.m. at the Spokane Public Library, Meeting Room 1A.
The Riverfront Park Master Plan 2014 is the second phase of a process that started in 2012. The Master Plan is the first time that the Parks & Recreation Department has looked comprehensively at Riverfront Park since Expo '74.
“We have been working with a citizen's advisory committee since April of this year and they are staring to make key recommendations as to the future of the Park. We are excited to hear more from the public and these potential changes,” says Juliet Sinisterra, Project Manager for the Master Plan.
Parks Staff will be displaying a conceptual model of Havermale Island, sketch diagrams of the Park and conceptual imagery. Comment cards will be available. Parks staff along with Advisory Committee Chair, Ted McGregor will also be on-hand to answer questions. Refreshments provided.
