The new pocket park next to City Hall is close to opening for public use, according to city officials.

Plans for the gateway onto the Square began in the fall of 2021. Bad weather and supply chain issues caused a delay in its construction.

The city received $250,000 from a bond bill passed by the state Legislature to create the little park.
