I hope you and your family have enjoyed all that Valparaiso has had to offer this summer. No doubt that new memories were made, possibly new traditions started and of course, a whole lot of fun was had. A new season is upon us as school has arrived and the fall weather is just around the corner. However, there is still time to enjoy the outdoor beauty that Valparaiso has to offer, including our brand new Central Park Plaza!
Located at the intersection of Indiana Avenue and Lafayette Street, this new park features many year-round activities for residents and visitors of all ages, including summer evening movies, fall concerts, and a number of special events. This is truly a park we can call our own, since the majority of the park was designed based upon input from Valparaiso residents.
When finished, our new park will include an interactive water feature in front of the stage area, a brick plaza, walkways, community comfort station (restrooms), outdoor cinema facility, beautifully landscaped seating areas, and a wireless hot spot for computer users.
Spend your Saturday relaxing at the park or surf the web on your lunch break! This park has something for everyone. So, come on out for a stroll around downtown this autumn season and be sure to stop by our new Central Park. We’ll see you there!
