Palmer Park reopening ceremony postponed due to rain

An event to celebrate the reopening of Palmer Park, after almost a year of closure, has been postponed due to rain in this weekend’s forecast.

The event slated for Saturday was to include a ribbon-cutting ceremony and a variety of activities throughout the morning.

The $2.5-million improvement project includes a new and expanded wading pool, a larger section for skateboarding, exercise equipment along the park’s walking path as well as a full and half court for basketball.

The park is located in south Glendale at 610 E. Palmer Ave.
