Phase one will include a pavilion and restrooms, a splashpad, an amphitheater, food truck parking and a large gathering space for events.

In March, the village said they had raised more than $1.25 million from grants and private donations towards the park.

It is projected to open to the public in 2023, according to a previous media release.
