Four future parks include Gateway Park (A reference to the location of the park as an important entry point to the city and the Highland Bridge development); Assembly Union Park (In recognition of the site’s industrial history and those who worked at Ford Motor Company, and specifically the importance of the workforce within the union labor movement); Uŋči Makȟa Park (“Mother Earth” in Dakota) Pronounced oon-CHEE Ma-KAH; and Míča Park (abbreviation for “coyote” in Dakota) Pronounced MEE-cha. Construction is slated to begin later this year.
