The City Parks staff is still working with ODOT to confirm that the final design will meet all of their guidelines. Additionally, the Parks folks want to take the final Dreamland design and create a rendering that shows how it fits into their plans for surrounding park improvements so the entire community can see how all the pieces of the puzzle will fit together to improve this space. Therefore, the unveiling of the final design has been postponed for a bit. Please stay tuned…
