Key Dates
Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony, 5-6:30pm at Weber Park
After years of planning and construction, it’s time to celebrate! We want to express our gratitude for your participation and patience during the Morningside Flood Infrastructure Project and the work done in Weber Park and at Lynn Avenue and Kipling Avenue Pond.
The community is now more resilient to flooding, and the park has new features like boardwalks, rebuilt nature trails and sports fields, and thousands of newly planted trees, shrubs, and native perennials.
Join us at the park to hear from Mayor Jim Hovland, explore project highlights and enjoy an ice cream treat. Come and go when it works for you – no RSVP required!
