Foster Park Public Input Meetings Announced:

7/18:  Foster Park Pavilion #1, 5-7 PM (open house format)

7/30:  Indian Village Park Sears Pavilion, 6-8 PM (open house format)

Fort Wayne Parks and Recreation is seeking public input in its effort to reimagine the entrance to Foster Park.  The newly designed entrance will address not only infrastructure and maintenance needs in response to the soon to be completed deep rock tunnel project, but will also take into consideration recreational amenities, landscape enhancements, pedestrian and vehicular circulation, and the interface of a new plan with the existing beauty of Foster Park and its surroundings.

Check out the Project Limits Map to see the scope of the project.
