Native prairie grass plantings, a grove of oak trees, a "marketplace court" with sail-covered pavilion, a large open area with small berms, pathways of permeable pavers, a rain garden and themed perennial gardens are planned for the vacant lot adjacent to the city's library and family museum.
The overall plan for the urban park was given the go-ahead by the city council and $12,100 was approved for detailed landscape design of the vacant lot along 18th Street where the old Eagle's Food Store once stood.
The full cost of the project is estimated to be $300,000 with the initial work scheduled for next spring.
