Music feature added to Klamath Commons Park

KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. – A new feature has been added to a Klamath Falls park that not only allows visitors to play, but to play music.

“The quality of the tone on these bells is just fine,” said George Tyson, owner of A Music Store on Main Street. “It rings for a long, long time.”

The bells and gongs are located at the corner of 11th and Main at the Klamath Commons Park.

Sky Lakes Medical Center Foundation Director Lauren Jespersen explained the feature was purchased by the CEO of Sky Lakes Medical Center and his wife. “Made possible by a very generous donation through the family of Suzanne and Paul Stewart,” Jespersen said.

Tyson’s music store is located less than a block away from the park.

“It’s really nice,” Tyson said. “And we enjoy having the park here, and it really turned out to be a success. And now they’ve added this music section, which I think everybody should come down and see, and listen to.”

Jespersen said the Stewarts were inspired after seeing the feature in another park. “The intent was to find ways for people to make music and be joyful in our downtown area,” She explained.

A set of lilypad cymbals will be installed soon.

The feature was installed by Modoc Contracting with additional help from Alder Creek Landscaping.
