As we gear up for our very first Friday Night Flix at Davis Park next Friday, June 1st, it's fun to imagine that as we sit there snacking on popcorn from the comfort of our fuzzy blankets, that this space could soon be used for more than watching movies and casual meetings.

Other suggestions for the park include public docks, climbing wall, sculpture garden and dog park.
