Lucas Park Events Being Planned
Two events are in the early planning stages – a Halloween event in October and a design charrette in November. This is basically a save the dates post.
Saturday October 25, 2008 we will have a “family friendly” event in the park with face painting, a series of costume contests (kids, adults, dogs), games and such. The event will run 4pm-8pm.
On Monday November 17, 2008 we will have a design charrette to look at the park long term with the goal being to get ideas to incorporate into an official master plan. This event will be held from 6pm-9pm
at the soon to open Crepes in the City at 500 N 14th (between Lucas Park & Washington Ave, on 14th).
A clean team crew from St Patrick’s Center has begun power washing the sidewalks and stone benches — it looks amazing! Crews have also started looking at problems with the sprinkler system. Once dark lights are working again. This park is now becoming a park for all downtown’s residents – owners, renters and homeless.
Details on the events to follow – stay tuned. A website will be up soon to communicate upcoming events.
This Saturday September 27th we’ll have our third clean up morning. Edging of the sidewalks will continue as will paining of the wood benches. Stop by to help or just enjoy the park. We start at 8am and go until noon.
I would love to seem some photos of the cleanup and other events in the park. The before & after photos of the previous cleanup were enlightening.
