Last week, an open house for River Forest Park was held at the NKC Parks & Recreation Center to provide an opportunity for participants to view and discuss conceptual drawings based on the feedback gathered during the River Forest Park Feasibility Study.  If you missed the open house, you can still review conceptual information and provide your feedback via this online survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/HVLKRMZ. For more information about the project, visit www.nkc.org/riverforestpark.
