Pocket park plan part of downtown development Posted
Keith Vandervort
ELY - The city of Ely is developing a pocket park on a vacant lot previously occupied by the former Pamida building near the corner of 1st Avenue East and Chapman Street.
The project entails upgrading lighting, seating, landscaping, ADA sidewalks, a small stage for music events, a playground climbing feature and public WiFi. The lot is owned by the Ott family, who is partnering with the city to develop the new public community space on Ely’s main street.
