VaHi Residents, Others Enjoy New Highland Park Grand Opening

Over a hundred residents enjoyed picture-perfect spring weather and a picnic lunch catered by Osteria 832 and Atkins Park at the grand opening of the New Highland Park this past Saturday March 16.

Music was provided by Darin Seldes and his son Max, local merchant the indie-pendant had a crafts and games table for kids, and balloons were provided by ReMax Intowners (Sandy d’Aprile, Peter Bade and Julie Sadlier).

City officials were on hand to congratulate park organizers for their vision and commitment to fund-raising that led to this weekend’s grand opening.
