Grace Marton Memorial Park is officially opening on Friday, Oct. 30 at 4 p.m.. The public is invited for a ribbon cutting, complimentary food and beverages and fun activities.
This brand new park at 1011 Waterfront Dr. near Halvorsen Park was made possible by Grace Marton and Lance Hardie who left money in their will for the establishment of a new park. These two community members shared many lunches together and enjoyed the view in the same spot where this beautiful park now sits. The community is invited to come play in this new space featuring a children’s playground, picnic areas, gardens and game area featuring a permanent cornhole court, and chess and checkers table.
Special thanks to:
- Grace Marton and Lance Hardie
