About

The Project for Public Spaces asks, “What if we build our cities around places?Their strategy guides our action in Redmond Park.


The City of Cedar Rapids’ 2013 Wellington Heights Neighborhood Plan identifies several action steps that can most quickly be realized with a centralized focus on Redmond Park.


Wellington Heights Neighborhood Association is a community non-profit organization dedicated to preservation, restoration, recreation, and cooperation. WHNA’s Program the Park Committee is dedicated to leveraging innovative programming and the arts in Redmond Park to improve the safety, livability and potential of the Wellington Heights neighborhood.

  • Our Program the Park effort will feature free public events and activities from Spring–Fall meant to bring vibrancy to the park while promoting health, wellness, and the arts.
  • We work to enhance the park experience by focusing on small scale amenities and improvements to create large scale wins.
  • We promote stewardship of the park through litter-collection, tree-planting, and gardening events.
