The City of Rochester is advancing the first phase of projects from the 2023 Silver Lake Master Plan. These enhancements aim to revitalize Silver Lake Park with new recreational facilities and community spaces. Key phase one projects include a modernized aquatics area, new playground, indigenous gathering area, skate park expansion, basketball court, and shelter renovations. These improvements total approximately $10.5 million, primarily funded through the 2020 Park Referendum, City Council allocations, and grants.
