Grace Marton Memorial Park- Public Input Meeting

See Event Description

The City of Eureka is excited to announce the upcoming establishment of the Grace Marton Memorial Park. This new park will be located on the grass lawn area in front of the Sacco Amphitheater and is made possible due to a generous donation by Lance Hardie and Grace Marton. Community members are invited to a public input meeting to learn about the project and to help shape the park design. The event will take place on Saturday, April 22nd from 1pm-3pm at the Sacco Amphitheater. Free ice cream will be provided to participants.

Grace and Lance made this donation to honor the many lunches they enjoyed on the waterfront together and memorialize their fondness for this area. They wished to improve this location for the community’s benefit by establishing a park and gardens. Since receiving the bequest, the City of Eureka has begun the development of a waterfront-themed playground featuring a reproduced Merchant Ship handmade by Eric Hollenbeck of Blue Ox Millworks. Working with the Wildling Design Studio, a thoughtful cohesive park plan is underway.

The public’s input is needed to develop this park design into a shared community vision. All ages are encouraged to attend including families with children. The Sacco Amphitheater is located next to the Adorni Center at 1011 Waterfront Drive. This new park will be accessible from the Waterfront Trail and public transportation. Parking is available at the Adorni Center parking lots and the meeting will take place outdoors. We encourage participants to arrive at 1pm as we will begin with a presentation, but anyone is welcome to drop in during the time frame of 1pm-3pm.
