Just in time for the city’s Centennial Celebration, Hermiston’s central park and community hub has received a major facelift with a boost from an OPRD Local Government Grant.
The city’s McKenzie Park will have a whole new look when it hosts the Centennial events beginning in July, along with annual community events such as Cinco de Mayo, the Hermiston Classics Car Show and a summer concert series. Located in the center of the city, the park also attracts young families, a lunchtime crowd and evening strollers seeking a quiet place to relax.
"Renovating this park is way for our community to honor the people of our past and to celebrate our future," says Hermiston Parks and Recreation Director Ivan Anderholm.
In 2006, the city received $117,000 from OPRD to finish the park renovations. Part of the grant is being used to build a new brick centennial plaza. The 75-foot plaza, viewed by the city as a highlight of the renovations, will include a new Centennial Clock Tower and a special water feature.
