Chang-Hu: Where Music & Mulch Fill the Air!
We beautified Chang-Hu Park just in time for this summer’s Music in the Park—part of our ongoing “Beautifying Gowanda” series!
Beautifying Gowanda is our seasonal program dedicated to improving public recreational areas across the village. Through outdoor maintenance and beautification, we aim to transform these spaces into more welcoming places for families and the entire community. With Music in the Park beginning this Thursday, we gave Chang-Hu Park a fresh new look to support the festivities!
Music in the Park is a beloved, month-long summer tradition featuring live performances from local bands. Every Thursday evening, the sound of great music fills the air as the village comes alive. Concerts are free and open to the public, with food and a 50/50 raffle offered by the Gowanda Area Chamber of Commerce.
Over the past few weeks, we’ve been hard at work weeding and mulching ahead of opening night. Invasive weeds were removed from the grounds, and fresh mulch was laid around the trees near the concert seating and the central flagpole display. Now, the stage is quite literally set for a season of sensational performances!
A huge thank-you to the volunteers who donated their time and effort throughout the past month to make this project possible. Your hard work and dedication are deeply appreciated. Special thanks as well to Barbara Nephew for her support in making this effort a success!
We’ll see you Thursday night for the first show featuring Paul Zittle! Have a great week, Gowanda!
