Some members of the Lions Club met at the Lions Den for a "Before Photo" of the area between the new steak house, Lemon & Rye and where Provalus will be. In the past the space has been called the "hole in the wall" or "pocket park." The building burned many years ago and the remaining space has been vacant. The City, in partnership with Lions will have a beautiful, relaxing seating area, mural, water feature and public restrooms. The space will be maintained by Parks and Rec and hopefully open in July. Thank you, Lions Club. This will be a great space for our community!
