  • A separate toddler playground featuring whimsical Farmers’ Market-themed play structures and a nature play area;
  • Family-friendly restrooms;
  • A gaming promenade with cornhole, checkerboard tables and oversized lawn chess;
  • A vibrant mural by local artist Phil “Sike Style” Shafer, featuring uplifting imagery;
  • Inspiring words throughout the park from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech;
  • An updated shade plaza featuring the original railroad tracks from the Strang Line;
  • New tennis and basketball courts;
  • A loop trail;
  • Greenspace;
