Shipyards officially becomes a park

Drove by today on the way to an event at Metropolitan Park and they were watering the grass at the shipyards.  Definitely an improvement. 

What are the plans for Berkman II?

Last I heard they were still in court battling about the parking garage collapse.

Hunters and travelers believed that whistling could stop a storm or calm rough waters.

Another favorite:

When the owl or barn owl sings, have you believed it to be a prognostication and omen of evil?

I think we've got some good baseball team names going.

this could really turn into a great, public open space. I really would like to see the pier opened to the public. Imagine how cool it would be to watch the fireworks from out there.

Does this park connect at all to Metro Park? it would be nice if some street vendors set up shoop around there. I don't know what it is about downtown, but street vendors are few and very far between. I would think spots like Friendship Fountain, and the Riverwalk, and this park would be prime vendor spots.
