At the corner of N 5th Street and Gateway Drive, Skidmore Park has been transformed into a vibrant community space. Centered around its historic 5-ton granite horse trough, the park now blooms with 2,500 summer flowers and offers a peaceful bench along its brick walkway—perfect for enjoying a treat from the nearby Dairy Queen.

Thanks to a $1,500 Vibrancy Grant, this renovation has revitalized the park, blending historic charm with fresh energy. The grant program supports projects that enhance community pride, attract talent, and improve quality of life.

Skidmore Park is now a shining example of how small investments can spark big changes, inviting everyone to enjoy its beauty and history.
