Rockford Park is home to a variety of programs and events throughout the year. FOWP hosts a free concert there every Wednesday evening for 9 weeks in the summer.
The existing concert stage doesn't offer cover from a passing shower or electrical hookups for the bands to use. The public bathrooms there are outdated and barely ADA compliant. We want to change that! FOWP is fundraising for a new stage and updated/expanded bathroom facilities.

We are pursuing grant opportunities at a variety of foundations. We have been successful so far and hope to build on our momentum to bring this project to fruition.
