Big changes are coming to Chester Park in Duluth, as the city gears up to replace the aging stage with a new one that's compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). According to an official announcement from the city government, the existing structure is slated to be demolished in the next few weeks to make room for the accessibility upgrades.

The demolition and construction work, which is part of the city’s effort to make public facilities more inclusive, won’t interfere with the public's use of the park overall. However, those frequenting the park are advised to steer clear of the work area for their own safety. The upgrade initiates a significant improvement in public infrastructure, ensuring that the performance space is accessible to all, including individuals with mobility challenges.

The new setup will be ready by 2026, spicing up future events with a dash of inclusivity.
