Construction on Downtown Performance Park is Underway - 2009-10-08
Work is now underway on the new Performance Park being built at the corner of A Street and 2nd Street in downtown Yakima. Yakima County Commissioners recently signed a 10-year land lease with the Committee for Downtown Yakima (CDY) and agreed to provide $40,000 to develop the land into an attractive downtown park. The park has been designed to accommodate live performances and will feature a gently sloping terrain and attractive shrubs and trees. With the help of financing that will be provided by the County, the City of Yakima will provide another $240,000 to install streetlights, planting boxes, and sidewalk improvements along the periphery of the park site. We expect the park to be substantially completed by the end of the year and ready to use and enjoy by next Spring.
