Plans

The Silvermont Centennial Committee envisions Silvermont Park as a vital and exciting destination, one that brings value to our community.

The committee’s $2.2 million, 4-year strategic plan includes much-needed repairs and upgrades to the house and grounds, new children’s playgrounds and a central plaza to serve as a community gathering place.

The history of our committee’s work, a list of groups represented on the committee and details of the strategic plans for the mansion and grounds are available from the “Plans” menu at the top of this page.

It will take widespread community support to accomplish all the goals in the plans, but it will be worth it as we create together a beautiful park that is used and loved by all.
