City Unveils Plan for New Stage and Park Remodel

A $900,000 parks tax-funded project is set to break ground next spring to remodel Coleman Hawkins Park, a top venue for shows and festivals in Downtown.

"That project is now out for bid. In late November or early December, we should be ready to go to Council for their approval and then we'll be able to get that project going by spring,"

said St. Joseph Parks Director Jeff Atkins. The project aims to maximize viewing space and enhance sound capabilities for concerts and events.

The remodel is expected to be completed by late July or August. The new layout will host year-round activities, including concerts and festivals.
