Measurable Outcome(s)

Through this grant we were able to install new wayfinding signs to greet and direct visitors, and to provide information about the artwork and important sites in the park. By talking with visitors and watching how they move through the park it is easy to see that the signs have had the anticipated effect of making the visitors? experience more engaging and meaningful.
