Welcome to the beautiful new Justine Mee Liff Park! After decades of concerted action, the Muddy River Restoration Project has erased the “missing link” and created an environment of habitat protection, traffic improvement, flood mitigation, environmental protection and beautification for our neighborhood, city, state and nation. Frederick Law Olmsted’s original vision has come back to glorious life. Let’s keep it this way!

– Frederick Law Olmsted, 1870
