Art Space Created



When it rains.... we pour!!!
Pictured here are workers preparing the site by pouring cement for the retaining wall on the south side of the park.
Interestingly, this wall when dry and ready, will be Innisfail's newest art space which will allow impermanent, ongoing free expression. Bring wall paint and be the first to make a mark.



Park Redesign

Our equipment dimensions caused us to reshape the look of the park. Here is the new layout to be put in place in 8 days from today!
