It’s been quite the start to 2021 at Moncus Park.

Construction is taking place on a playground, interactive water feature, treehouse, Veterans Memorial, dog park, amphitheater, walking trails and more. The longtime Farmers Market continues to draw hundreds of patrons each Saturday morning and increased interest from local vendors. Plans are in the works for a large scale, multi-day Christmas in the Park festival this December.
