Carl Lee Park

site about working with John Medwedeff on the sculptural bandshell element of this project: http://www.handsoftheartist.com/228361/Towne-Park-Pavillion At first we called it the Walnut Street Greenspace, then Town Center Park by most people, but the final name of the park is now Carl Lee Park, named after an important black educator in Murphysboro. Carl Lee Park, next door to Sallie Logan Library

, is where people go to read, relax, and enjoy summer concerts in our small but vibrant city. The entire park is the artwork of John Medwedeff, and the design incorporates a sculptural bandshell/pavilion/performance space with amphitheater seating, a bronze fountain, and gardens adjacent to the library. Bandshell and fountain designed by John Medwedeff. Landscape designed in collaboration with Darrell Garrison, AIA, of Planning Resources, Wheaton, IL. Fager-McGee, construction contractor.
