The celebration includes a new bike pump track, expanded skateboard park, pickleball courts and a shade structure.

The new official opening ceremony time will align with a weekend of activities in the park by user groups, including demonstrations on the bike pump track, pickleball courts, and skateboard park according to the City.

The opening ceremony was planned for Thursday but wet weather has slowed down the installation of sod.
