Due to the continued challenges caused by seasonal flooding in Lower City Park, the Iowa City Parks and Recreation Department is planning a redesign of the area.

The City of Iowa City hosted an open house to present and gather ideas and feedback regarding what the future landscape of the park might look like. Confluence, a Des Moines-based landscape architecture firm that has been hired to develop a park master plan, presents details of some of the concepts that have been suggested and answers questions from the public.

While a few concepts have been generated by Confluence, the City also wants to hear what the public has to say about the future of their park: the park elements they want maintained, the uses or amenities they'd like to see added, reactions to the initial architectural concepts, as well as brand new ideas.
