CLEARLAKE, Calif. – On Wednesday, May 11, the city of Clearlake will host an open house to discuss possible improvements to Austin Park that will help to make it the centerpiece of the city.

The open house will be at Clearlake City Hall, 14050 Olympic Drive, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

Melton Design Group, the consultant selected to assist in the master planning process, will be on site to take input from all who attend.

“We just went through a similar design process with Highlands Park and I think we came up with a very well received concept that is going to tremendously increase the use of the park once we take this design from concept to reality,” said City Manager Greg Folsom. “We are looking to go through this same process with Austin Park.”

“Austin Park is the heart of our city and it should represent who we are as a community, which is why we need public participation in order to make this park truly reflect our community,” said Councilman Bruno Sabatier.
