Help craft the historic future of Sir Swante Palm Neighborhood Park
Wednesday, August 2, 2023 by Chad Swiatecki
Waterloo Greenway will hold a pair of community conversations later this month to help residents learn about and discuss plans for the restoration of Sir Swante Palm Neighborhood Park. The meetings will take place at the Juan in a Million restaurant (2300 E. Cesar Chavez St.) from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Aug. 24 and 10 a.m. to noon on Aug. 26. Participants will learn more about the preliminary design for the park, which will be restored as part of the third phase of the Waterloo Greenway that is expected to break ground in 2026. Currently, the second phase, known as The Confluence, is underway, with portions of Palm Park being used for staging and work areas for construction crews. For more information about plans for the park, visit waterloogreenway.org/future.
