This fall, the Downtown Development Commission facilitated a public meeting and online survey to gather feedback on proposed designs for the City’s new park that will be located at the end of Pearl Street along the Saco River. The feedback that was received was incorporated into a new set of designs that reflect the common sentiments for more open green space and less hardscape. The updated designs are all variations on a similar idea of a flexible performance space that can be adapted for other uses when there are no performances taking place.
