At a Vincent Community Board meeting this week it moved to support the plans for the park and include Central Otago District Council staff in its development.
The plans for natural terraced seating and a permanent stage at the park were announced by Central Otago Mayor Tim Cadogan and Alexandra Blossom Festival chairwoman Sharleen Stirling-Lindsay last month.
Mr Cadogan said at the time a loose estimate of cost was $250,000, and it could take about three years.
It was to be funded with money raised from the Blossom Festival.
Blossom Festival event manager Martin McPherson said the project showed the festival ‘‘returning to its roots’’, in that it began more than 60 years ago partly as a way to fund community projects.
Through the new development the park would be lit with LED lights at night, powered by mains which the festival committee installed there last year.
The grass-covered terraced seating would have "flush concrete" frontages, Mr McPherson said.
"They will be very modern looking. We ruled out stone because of the cost of installation and maintenance."
As it was in a residential area there would need to be rules in place to minimise disruption.
"I can’t imagine the Rolling Stones playing there until 2 o’clock in the morning."
