The Rockport Parks and Beautification Committee is pleased to present the plan for the reclamation of Memorial Park which will be implemented later this summer at the completion of the new library project. This plan was developed over the past winter by the committee in conjunction with Keith Smith, landscape architect in Scarborough. Anna Remsen, owner of Seasons Downeast Design in Rockport and member of the Parks Committee was instrumental in choosing plants that would do well in this location and complement the plantings that are anticipated at the new library.
