Vincennes’ newest park will hold a soft opening on Sunday.

Minooteeni Park is located at 1st and Hart at the north end of the Vincennes Riverwalk.

It’s a project to pay tribute and to honor indigenous people of the region.

Volunteers have been transforming the city property into a park with historical context and there is a lot of work yet to do.

The park is a vision of the local group Wabash Valley Progressives.

Group Treasurer, Jen Holscher says it will likely be a couple of years before all of the amenities in the park are complete.

Some of those include native plants which take time to grow.

Holscher calls Sunday’s event, a park reveal, and it will feature representatives from federally recognized native tribes who’ve been involved with the project since the beginning.

The Minooteeni Park Reveal is at Noon on Sunday
