Attendees will also be able to view the vacant lot to the north of the Skate Park to get a better perspective of the site and to provide input on what improvements/amenities could be accommodated to increase the recreational opportunities for the community.   The draft Master Plan for was originally prepared in 2008 and, since that time, select elements of the Master Plan have been implemented such as the Veterans’ Courtyard and the Skate Park.

When we are KIND, we inspire others to BE KIND, and it creates a ripple effect that spreads outwards.  By adopted resolution, the City is an official “City of Kindness,” and is committed to fostering a culture of kindness among City government, schools, businesses, residents, and visitors.
