FUTURE PARK PHASES

The City of North Liberty acquired a 40-acre parcel, now called Centennial Park, back in 2010 with the vision of creating an entertainment park on the west side of town, just a mile off Interstate 380. City Council never lost sight of this vision – investing in the park’s infrastructure and executing events – and as North Liberty’s population exploded over the past decade, administration repeatedly heard stakeholders’ call for more gathering and entertainment spaces.

Centennial Park will be a park that residents will cherish as a quality-of-life amenity, businesses will boast about when recruiting employees, and visitors will rave about when they talk about Iowa.

Phase 1: Hy-Vee Center & Amphitheatre, exterior restrooms, plaza space and necessary utilities to support all phases.
Phase 2: A splash pad and expanded playground with wheelchair-accessible play units, a picnic shelter, additional restrooms, shade structures and expanded parking.
Phase 3: A year-round pavilion and an expansive plaza space.
