City leaders and residents gathered this morning for a groundbreaking ceremony on a major expansion to the Mike Ingram Heritage Park. It’s a project officials say will honor Maricopa’s past while expanding space for community gatherings.
The park, already home to the Maricopa Museum and Visitor Center and the storied California Zephyr railcar, will soon feature a new amphitheater capable of holding about 400 people, a railroad-themed playground, fresh landscaping and a memorial wall commemorating community contributors.
The upgrades are budgeted at $1.469 million, according to city officials.
