The newly opened Jones Park in downtown Appleton provides a link between the College Avenue area, and the riverfront.
Mayor Tim Hanna says that’s something city leaders have been looking for, for at least a decade. He says Jones Park always rose to the top of the list, as a natural connection. He thinks it’s a really big thing for the city, for that to become a reality.
Hanna says it was natural for the city to revamp the park, once the plans for the Fox Cities Exhibition Center were finalized. The bottom level of the expo center opens into Jones Park.
The park will be used for the first time, tomorrow and Saturday, during the Mile of Music festival.
