Countdown to Park Renovation Recap

Friends of International Children's Park — Thu, 23 Jun 2011 19:27:58 +0000

Thank you so much to everyone that came out for the “Countdown to Park Renovation” event last Thursday June 16. It was you who made this celebration so much fun! From mobile food to baked goods and button making, we hope everyone enjoyed the last formal celebration in the original park. We are excited to see construction begin for the new renovation in August, which means the park will be closed for the remaining year.

But don’t fret, anticipation for the new park will be even more exciting and we hope you will look forward to the FICP Grand Re-Opening event sponsored by Cathay Bank!
