The lot on the northwest corner of First and Wall Street, which was previously an automotive service center, was purchased by the City of Eagle River in 2020. The City demolished the building and cleaned up the property for resale and listed the property for $250,000. The Eagle River Revitalization Program requested permission from the City to beautify the property for use by the community and as an outdoor dining area.
The Promotions Committee along with Eagle River Light & Water and the Public Works department decorated the vacant lot for the holidays with lighted trees and a Santa mail box. In the spring of 2021, they added some painted tables with umbrellas, flowers, and benches.
Over the summer and into the fall there were several events that utilized the space, such as; the Memorial Day Art & Craft Event, Burger Bash, Party in the Street, Car & Truck Show, Hallowfest.
