The City of Colorado Springs will hold a groundbreaking for the Panorama Park renovation project at 12:30 p.m. May 8 at Panorama Park. The 13.5 acre park at 4540 Fenton Road, adjacent to Panorama Middle School in the Southeast, is slated to receive the largest neighborhood park renovation in Colorado Springs history.Â
âThis project is estimated at a $7 million investment between the city and the Trust for Public Land for construction,â says Connie Schmeisser, a landscape architect with the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department. âThis is a really important project milestone for the community, and for the city, and for all the people that support this project. Itâs taken us about three years to get to this point. We not only want to say âThank youâ for making this possible, we want to take a moment to recognize all the hard work to this point in taking this next step toward making this vision a reality.â

Hong Kong activist Joshua Wong and three others pleaded guilty on Friday to charges related to their participation in last year’s June 4 vigil commemorating the victims of the Tiananmen Square massacre.
Wong, a prominent pro-democracy activist, is already serving a sentence of 17 months in prison, having been sentenced to 13 months imprisonment for organizing an illegal assembly during the height of the 2019 anti-government protests. This sentence was extended by four months on April 13 after Wong pleaded guilty to fresh charges of unauthorized assembly and violating an anti-mask law.
The other activists who pleaded guilty in the District Court on Friday were Lester Shum, Jannelle Leung and Tiffany Yuen.

Hong Kong officials announced Tuesday they would ban the annual June 4 Victoria Park vigil to commemorate the 1989 massacre in Tiananmen Square due to coronavirus restrictions. The vigil was banned for similar reasons in 2020.
The
Hong Kong Free Press (HKFP) reported that Hong Kong’s Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) has suspended processing applications “across the board” for leases that could be part of the Victoria Park commemoration. A department spokesman implied this suspension might be temporary, but gave no hint of when application processing might resume.
“In response to the latest situation of Covid-19 [Chinese coronavirus], the department has suspended processing of booking applications for free recreational and sports venues for non-designated activities until further notice,” said the official LCSD statement.
