GAYLORD — Elkview Park in Gaylord has reopened following an expansion designed by architecture and engineering firm C2AE, giving residents and visitors new opportunities to view the city’s municipal elk herd.

Per an Aug. 11 news release from the city, the project — which the city had sought for more than 20 years — was completed with support from the Michigan Spark Grant program and the Gaylord Tourism Bureau. C2AE provided grant assistance, architectural and engineering design, bidding, and construction administration.

The park incorporates universal design principles to make the space accessible and inclusive. New features include an elk viewing platform with glass railings, a pavilion with a fireplace, a playground, family-style restrooms, wide sidewalks, and accessible parking.
