The changes in downtown Twin Falls have been exciting for all Twin Falls residents in the past year. Buildings that have sat empty for years are being restored and opened to the public. Yesterday Twin Falls received even more good news. Plans to build a pocket park in downtown Twin Falls are moving forward.

The new park will be located across the street from the Glanbia corporate office.

At last nights city council meeting the council accepted it as a public park.

According to KMVT the council asked the Urban Renewal Agency, which is in control of the building process, to make the park more compatible with the city's park maintenance program.

This is because maintenance on parts of the park would have been time consuming if the plans remained the same.

The URA has agreed and will be submitting the changes to the park's designer. I am thrilled about the park!
