Phase I of Wright Park redesign ready to be unveiled
By Matt Nagle
On May 10 from 1-3 p.m., a grand reopening celebration will be held at Wright Park to unveil to the public all the completed phase one master plan improvements that have been made to the park over the past eight months.
Metro Parks Communications Manager Nancy Johnson said that while many park passers-by have noticed the newly-painted, gleaming white statues at the parks entrances – the two lions at the Sixth Avenue entrance and the two ladies known as “Annie and Fannie” on the Division Avenue side – visitors will notice much more once they walk around the 27-acre park.
