MISHAWAKA, Ind., Marh 19, 2025 – The City of Mishawaka and Indiana Michigan Power (I&M) are reminding the public of work being done on high voltage power lines at the Pricket Marina Dog Park.  Out of an abundance of caution amid an ongoing project, a temporary fence has been installed to separate the active construction area from the usable part of the dog park. The Pricket Marina Dog Park has remained open to the community and pets since the safety fence was installed. The southern portion of the dog park is currently open, while the northern half will remain closed through early summer, weather permitting. Safety is paramount, and dogs and their owners must not enter the construction zone at any time.  Regular patrols of the park are ongoing to ensure the public’s safety.  During the duration of the project, we must mandate that community members stay out of the active construction zone and keep your distance from workers and equipment for your safety.

Join Mayor Dave Wood for Front Porch Friday – September 13th, 2024

On Friday, September 13th, 2024, Mishawaka Mayor Dave Wood will once again host Front Porch Friday from noon to 1:00 PM. This informal gathering will take place on the front porch of the Mishawaka Utilities Business Office, located at 107 North Main Street, Mishawaka. The event is a special opportunity for residents to engage directly with Mayor Wood in a relaxed, personal setting.

Mayor Wood is passionate about connecting with the community and hearing firsthand from the people who make Mishawaka a great place to live. Front Porch Friday serves as a welcoming space where residents can share their observations, ideas, and experiences, while Mayor Wood reflects on the city he loves.

“Front porches are as American as apple pie, and they symbolize community and connection,” Mayor Wood said. “It’s the perfect spot for meaningful conversations with family, friends, and neighbors. I look forward to continuing this tradition.”

At the last Front Porch Friday, on a sunny afternoon, Mishawaka residents gathered to share their stories and thoughts. Mayor Wood was deeply moved by the heartfelt exchanges, where people sipped lemonade and chatted about life in the Princess City. These interactions help shape the Mayor’s understanding of the community’s needs and aspirations.

Being Mayor of Mishawaka is a role Mayor Wood cherishes, as it allows him to bring people together, build coalitions, and work directly for the betterment of the city. Front Porch Friday is just one of the ways Mayor Wood stays connected to the pulse of the community.

As always, Mayor Wood is eager to hear from residents and enjoy more conversations over lemonade. This event is a simple yet powerful way to foster community spirit and ensure that the voices of Mishawaka’s citizens are heard.

Join us for Front Porch Friday—bring your thoughts, ideas, and a thirst for some good conversation!
