The River Market isn’t even open yet, but it’s already welcoming new residents! 🦋

This Imperial Moth was spotted chilling beneath a newly planted native beautyberry, one of the many native plants added to the site over the past month.

The River Market is set to open next week (more on that here soon!), but is already a habitat for many. We can’t wait to see how this new space grows—and who else comes to visit! 🌿

Community Park has a new inclusive element thanks to Hitachi Energy Jefferson City! This communication board will help visitors stay and play by providing them with words and pictures to express their feelings, needs, and how they want to play in the park. This board contains both English and Spanish components and was developed with the help of Heather Dodd at Making Connections LLC and Linda Cornejo of The Cornejo Group.

We love to see partnerships like these bring a project from an idea to a reality! If you would like to support inclusive elements in parks, give us a call. We want you to join in the fun!

FYI: Binder Park Entrances/Road Closures
⚠️ August 29-30, 2026 ⚠️

We are pumped to welcome Missouri Interscholastic Cycling League back to Binder Park for the 2026 Binder Lake Mini-Bash this weekend! Plan your park visit accordingly; roads and park entrances may be inaccessible or closed. Digital message boards will be placed near roads displaying road closure notices to help redirect traffic.

We love hosting this group and enjoy seeing them hit the trails to open their season! Have you been to this race before? If so, tell us what you love about riding at Binder in the comments 👇
