An eleven circuit labyrinth will be installed, within budget, in the Delano Sculpture Park in Fall 2016. About 100 area residents will attend a dedication ceremony. The public will learn about the project through extensive publicity. Two outcomes extend beyond the grant timeframe: More people will visit the Sculpture Park in summer 2017 and beyond due to the labyrinth. The labyrinth will become a personal destination as people use it for meditation, reflection, and relaxation. Completing project on time and within budget will be major measure of success. We will count people at dedication ceremony and at labyrinth during specific time periods. Surveys will be done at selected community events and via an on-line option.
The project was completed within budget. The installation and dedication had 77 attendees. Public awareness of the project was successful through community education classes, presentations at schools and church groups and the presence of a portable labyrinth at the Delano Community Market. The labyrinth is a destination for many people but it has been difficult to record actual numbers.
