Schoolhouse Park – Additional Elements

Additional Park Elements

The Schoolhouse Park Master Plan broke down future development into phases.  Thanks to the amazing support for the project, the majority of the main elements all were able to be funded in the first phase, which began construction in 2022.  Some of the additional elements that were discussed in the planning and development process of the park have not yet been funded.  Those elements will be individually funded over the coming years, or grouped together when specific grants or funding are made available for them.
