April Events Overview

April has been a busy month, especially as we prep for Design Downtown Denton: The Feedback Finale (see above) in early May!

The discussion focused on providing feedback to the team regarding the four proposed catalyst projects and the four project recommendations, with action items, related to the Design Downtown Denton plan.

Quakertown Park Design Workshop and Redbud Festival

The Quakertown Park Design Workshop was held at the Denton Civic Center on Wednesday, April 17th from 5:30 to 7 pm. The team invited members of the community to come and provide feedback on two conceptual plans for Quakertown Park - 'Embracing Ecology' and 'Timelines of Denton.'

Concept 1: Embracing Ecology

Concept 2: Timelines of Denton

In addition, the team asked the community about the future of a Quakertown monument, asking participants to indicate the types of emotion the monument space should evoke and select examples of monuments from around the world that they felt would honor the story of Quakertown.

The event saw approximately 20 attendees, made up of residents and Downtown business owners.

The two conceptual plans were also shared at the Redbud Festival on Saturday, April 20th. Feedback gathered from the design workshop and the festival will be utilized to finalize a concept plan for Quakertown Park to be displayed at Design Downtown Denton: The Feedback Finale.
