On May 15, 2018, the Council approved the Waterfront Park site plan concept (12,163 sf Community Center) for development. The ribbon-cutting ceremony and grand opening debut were held on January 14, 2024.
This enclave, nestled across from the current Village Hall, features open lawn areas for passive activities, strolling gardens, meditative spaces, progressive exercise zones, and a “Mother Earth, Cycle of Life”-themed playground designed by award-winning Danish firm, Monstrum. The 1.5-acre property includes a terraced garden, a splash pad, and additional Raymond Jungles-designed landscaping with a forest-style canopy that leads visitors into the new Community Center.
The intimate, three-story jewel has a mirrored-glass design that reflects the park from the outside and brings nature inside. This 24,000-square-foot facility houses multi-purpose event spaces, an indoor toddler playground, and the administrative offices for the Recreation, Arts & Culture department. A third-floor landscaped and covered roof deck offers magnificent water and city views and serves as a multifunctional space for parties, pre-function gatherings, or relaxation.
