Next Step for Heroes Park Design Committee Recommendation

In January 2023 the City Council created the Heroes Park Design Committee and appointed citizens with different military backgrounds or relevant experience with similar projects. The group was tasked with exploring the idea of shifting the location of the existing Heroes Park over to the area immediately south of City Hall and expanding it into a dual purpose park that both honors community heroes and includes ample space for City events. The Heroes Park Design Committee has met four different times, including a site tour of similar parks in other communities. The committee identified desired elements including event space, hero recognition, landscaping, areas for shared historical information, a water element, and sculptures. Based on those desired elements, two different design options were presented to the committee. At their last meeting, the committee unanimously approved a concept that combined aspects from the two designs. This recommendation was presented to the City Council on June 6 for consideration and future discussion. The Council was supportive of the committee's recommendations and will be discussing a contract to develop construction documents at the July 6 Worksession. That process will involve multiple updates along the way, as well as open house opportunities for public input.
