Phase 1 included:

? Aesthetic improvements to the historic artesian well structure.
? Installation of an interpretive sign featuring the history of the artesian well.
? Installation of two bench swings.
? Installation of permanent art exhibits.
? A free public event featuring hands-on activities and highlighting newly installed artwork.
? Placement of two small murals on the fence of the pickleball court.
? Plants along the pickleball court fence, around trees, and around one of the bench swings.
