“Leicht Park is a beautiful space on our riverfront that attracts many people to our downtown for a variety of reasons. Additionally, it serves as a neighborhood park for the thousands of residents that live nearby,” said Brian Johnson, executive director, On Broadway, Inc. “The future of this prized public space can harness many additional uses through proper design and activation and this event will serve as a place where we can have that dialogue with our community while reimagining future park uses.”
“Prost!” said Mayor Eric Genrich. “This is a perfect opportunity for the City and On Broadway to demonstrate to the community what the future of Leicht Park will look like with the implementation of the park’s master plan.
