Antioch City Park Grand Opening April 5, 2008

 

At the corner of West 10th and "A" Street, is Antioch's oldest park.  This wonderful 5 acre park is full of tall mature trees, a rose garden, and stone benches.  A historic stone wall, built at a Works Program Administration (WPA) project in the 1930's, encircles the park.

In September 2005, the City Council voted to renovate and revitalize City Park. Using grant money and an inspiring idea from the Parks and Recreation Commission, this park will be transformed into a place of which our community can once again be proud.

AND HERE IT IS! The renovated park includes a park lot within the stone walls, a lighted adult soccer field, a concession stand and new bathrooms.  The highlight is the playground designed by the children and built in five days by the people of our community. Grand Opening - NOW OPEN! The opening of the playground and park was held on April 5, 2008. Click here for photos from the grand opening! Buy a piece of history!
