Visions for the Restored Park


A landscape plan from the late 1930s showed Way Park as a garden or strolling park, tying together both the north and south halves of the park with paths, benches, a fireplace and a sunken garden.

What features would you include if YOU were designing a park? We're seeking your input to help guide the vision of Way Park into a reality for future generations of Northfielders.

The poster pictured here, created and illustrated by our very own Judy Swanson, shows a few proposed ideas and visions for the restored park. We're hoping to gather many more through the survey. Look for it in your mailbox and send us your suggestions!
