Wednesday June 24 – Cedar Falls’
Veterans Park
was created in the mid-90s on some land left over from highway and street construction
projects near the intersection of Waterloo Road
and Utilities Parkway.
Sid Morris, a Korean War veteran, and Mark Ripplinger, head
of the Parks Department, were on hand today to explain Phase 2 of the Veterans
Park. This expansion adds a shelter house, open green space, a ring of trees
and limestone benches to the park.
The $100,000 cost of the project has been funded entirely by private donations of cash, materials and labor.
Phase 2 is expected to be completed by this fall.
We appreciate Sid and Mark sharing the story of how public
and private efforts joined together to improve our city parks.
