In addition to the music on Thursday, people will have a chance to review plans developed by the Echo Lake Master Plan Steering Committee.

The plan presents ideas for upgrading the park under both options being considered by the city – removal of the Echo Lake dam to drain the lake or modification of the dam to retain the lake.

This is the third in a series of community workshops during which members of the Echo Lake Master Plan Steering Committee sought input from the public.
