The CIty of Frederick plans to extend Himes Avenue pass Butterfly Lane into the Westside Regional Park property. This is where the park will be located.
The first area of the park will feature Fantasy Land and include a three-story-tall creative castle structure and a hidden dragon.
Other areas of the park will have Neverland and Wonderland themes.
