The NEW Grace Marton Memorial Park

Take a survey (link below) and give us your opinions.

The City of Eureka is excited to announce the upcoming establishment of the Grace Marton Memorial Park. This new park will be located on the grass lawn area in front of the Sacco Amphitheater and is made possible due to a generous donation by Lance Hardie and Grace Marton.

Grace and Lance made this donation to honor the many lunches they enjoyed on the waterfront together and memorialize their fondness for this area. They wished to improve this location for the community’s benefit by establishing a park and gardens. Since receiving the bequest, the City of Eureka has begun the development of a waterfront-themed playground featuring a reproduced Merchant Ship handmade by Eric Hollenbeck of Blue Ox Millworks. Working with the Wildling Design Studio, a thoughtful cohesive park plan is underway. The public’s input is needed to develop this park design into a shared community vision.

Waterfront Trail improvements and realignment are planned as part of this park project. A 50% match grant is being pursued to double the park and trail budget. This opportunity is provided by the Land and Water Conservation Fund and the application is due June 1st, 2023. The grant award will be announced in September 2023.

Live Theater Comedy Fundraiser to Help CAPE

Join us for a special family, fun event to raise funds for C.A.P.E.

An exciting opportunity is coming soon to support the Community Access Project for Eureka (C.A.P.E.) in developing new youth-oriented programming.

North Coast Repertory Theater will begin 2023 with an original play, Never After Happily, as a fundraising performance for C.A.P.E.

“Never After Happily,” written to be premiered at NCRT by Hollywood playwrights, Cindy and Flip Kobler, is a fun-filled, family-friendly, delightful, and poignant comedy about what happens to our favorite fairy tale characters AFTER happily ever after. A percentage of the proceeds will support C.A.P.E.’s initiative to develop a free music and arts program that will target children residing at local shelters including those served by the Betty Chinn Homeless Foundation.

This benefit performance will take place Tuesday, February 14th at 8pm. North Coast Repertory Theater is located at 300 Fifth Street in Eureka. Tickets are available for purchase at www.NCRT.net or by calling 707-442-6278. Special pricing for this event is $15 for adults and $10 for students and seniors.

This is a great opportunity for the whole family to laugh while supporting the development of programming to expose local youth to the arts.
