Yakima Parks and Recreation shared the Miller Park improvement efforts with the Yakima City Council during its regular meeting on Tuesday, September 1^st.

Proposed park improvements include:

New park pavilion, benches, tables and restrooms.

Constructing walkways and paths
Covering the performance stage area
