The City of Hickory invites the public to attend a ribbon cutting for Bruce Meisner Park on Friday, April 8, at 1 p.m.
The ceremony will celebrate the grand opening of the new 73-acre park and the completion of its first phase of construction. A light lunch will be provided for those at the event.
With the first phase of construction now complete, current amenities at the park include a paved walking trail or promenade, a picnic shelter with restrooms, and outdoor grills. These amenities will allow visitors to enjoy the natural beauty of the landscape and a wide variety of recreation activities in the park.
