A committee working to develop a memorial park following July’s Flight For Life crash will present initial designs to the public next week. With a local branch of Norris Design drafting up landscape architecture drawings, the “pocket park” will be located just off the bike path near St. Anthony’s Summit Medical Center, the site of the crash.
“We’re really at a conceptual stage still,” Julie Kelble, park committee chair said. “We’re going to present to the community what we’ve accomplished so far, what our plans are, and take their comments.”
The open house will take place at the Frisco Day Lodge on Feb. 11, from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Public feedback is welcomed.
