This summer the City will break ground on the Gipson Play Plaza – an inviting and inspiring public space for all ages with one of a kind play spaces, works of art, a civic plaza, fountains, and gardens. Play features include a sensory maze, swing terrace, water play mountain and adventure playground. A picnic grove will offer areas to cook out, rest, and recharge with family and friends. The repurposed historic House of Many Porches will be transformed into a café with healthy foods and sweet treats.
The Gipson Play Plaza is scheduled to start construction in summer 2022 and open two years later.
