The Panora Public Library Board is planning to build out the sound of its public attraction it installed nearly a year ago.

Board member Dave Grove presented plans to the Panora City Council at their recent meeting to add six more instruments to their outdoor music park located on the south side of the library in the downtown square. This would make for nine total instruments in the installation, which Grove says has been a big success in drawing families outside to make some sounds. Mayor Pat Parker remarked that his grandchildren love the permanent fixtures, and heard visitors at last summer’s Panorama Days clamoring to install music parks in their own communities.

Grove showed renderings of the instruments from the manufacturer Freenotes Harmony Park, and he told the Council they’re looking to put a concrete border around the park and fill it with either pea gravel or mulch, in order to alleviate lawn mowers. He says the Board’s goal is to get the new pieces installed this spring. The Council approved for the Board to move forward with the project, which is funded by the Library’s Foundation.
