Revamp of Ellis Park Shakespeare Garden to begin
Cedar Rapids will start a multiyear revival of the Shakespeare Garden in Ellis Park with $30,000 in local funding, part of a roughly $600,000 project. Phase one includes removing old concrete, adding benches and gazebos, new irrigation, and a sunburst stage area. Phase two adds stone seating, a restored stream view, and bioswale plantings. The project aims for completion around 2026 with support from Friends of Shakespeare Garden, Northwest Neighbors Association, Wednesday Shakespeare Club, and donors including UFG.
