The event featured a live performance by singer Allen Stone, a ribbon-cutting with City Council members, Parks and Recreation officials and other community leaders, and a lineup of local vendors offering food and drinks.

The Lakeview Stage and Pavilion are part of a broader $147 million, voter-approved bond program aimed at modernizing Old Settlers Park and preparing it for the region’s rapid growth.
Planning began several years ago as the city evaluated aging facilities, increasing demand for sports tourism and strong public support for expanded green space and upgraded park amenities.
