If you’ve been to the Cascade library recently, you might have found yourself at the service desk asking what all the commotion is about outside, where tractors and workers moved earth and carefully placed large slabs of rock to begin sculpting what will soon become Friendship Park.
Even Old Man Winter did his part to help keep the work moving by holding back its most bitter temperatures and snow until January to let the workers get a jump on the development of the park and keep things on schedule, according to Lulu Brown, branch manager.
“Our patrons aren’t used to seeing the grounds torn up and that kind of activity around the library,” she said. “So, we’re happy to tell them what it’s all about and share our excitement for what it’s going to be when completed. And, we are very fortunate and grateful that the weather has cooperated because we want the park available to the community by the spring.”
An artist’s rendering of what the park will look like depicts a setting that will, at the same time, deliver relaxation and utility depending on each visitor’s needs. It will feature gardens, a fountain, a pavilion, walking paths, gathering spots, beautiful landscaping and botanical adventures for the curious.
“When you look out at all the mounds of dirt and snow, it’s hard to picture just how amazing it is going to be,” Brown said. “Not only will it be a wonderful resource for the community to utilize for its own purposes, it is going to be an invaluable tool for our library team in delivering even more diverse programs for our patrons.”
Spring is always a time of beauty and anticipation in Michigan. And, this year, we’ll have one more thing to get excited about.
This artist's rendering shows what Friendship Park is expected to look like.
