The group continued with a visit to the Stone Garden. "There's a lot of history, it's our oldest park in the city," said Peg VanNevel, District Governor of the Mishawaka Lions Club.

MISHAWAKA — The city is asking residents if it should transform Crawford Park into a nature ... which Blasko said would offer convenience to visitors to the park and Shiojiri Niwa Japanese garden.

Under the sign “A bridge to understanding,” a local craftsman built a footbridge to mimic the bridge at Shiojiri Niwa, the 1.3-acre Japanese garden next to Mishawaka’s Crawford Park.
