I think every Downtown resident is waiting with baited breath for this new park to open. Any new green space is always appreciated, but this park also comes with a great amount of beauty! I can't wait to walk through it and experience it for the first time.
If you haven't heard, the wait is over! This weekend is the inaugural weekend and the park is kicking things off with a weekend full of fun! Here is the schedule posted on the Grand Park website!
