City unveils plan for new stage, remodel of Coleman Hawkins Park next spring

New Stage and Remodel for Coleman Hawkins Park

A $900,000 parks tax-funded project is set to break ground next spring, remodeling Coleman Hawkins Park in Downtown.

The project aims to maximize viewing space and enhance sound capabilities for concerts and events.

"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,"

St. Joseph Parks Director Jeff Atkins said, hoping for a late July or August completion date.
