Washington Park Reservoir Celebration

Washington Park Celebration and "Sneak Peek"

The renovation is nearly complete.   For one day only, we'll celebrate the near completion of the Washington Park Reservoir. The new park space features two reflecting pools, a wildlife habitat area, public walking paths, and restored historic features.  To celebrate, they're hosting a day of festivities including tours, giveaways, vendor booths, and more. This will be a free, family-friendly event just minutes away from the International Rose Test Garden.  

After the celebration on Saturday, they will close the site for a short time to finalize the work to bring it to an iconic park destination.
