The park board is having a community work day tomorrow at noon. We will be moving our basketball goals to their new locations. And putting the soccer goals together. They will be ready for play. We the board have decided to postpone putting in the archery area till after the 4th of July activities. Once the activities are over next month. We will get together and get the archery area ready to be used. We want to have ample parking for the next two events. We encourage anyone wanting to help. To come to the park. The park has been approved for community service for the students in Huntsville school district.

We have been notified that unfortunately Boulder Creek Band will not be able to play at the car show. There was an unexpected medical emergency that came up. We are in need for another band to play if anyone is available. The park would be extremely appreciative of anyone who is available to help us out.

This Saturday is our work day. We need soccer goals installed, new signage put up, basketball goals moved, and help putting in archery area. We have other things done that are less labor intensive as well. We will accept any community help. If your student needs community hours we welcome their help as well. We are a approved community service location.

After the pavilion is done. We will need to furnish it. It will need a floor, picnic tables and to help keep it cool ceiling fans. We will be selling raffle tickets, hosting community events to earn money to buy these things. Please consider donating to the park when you can. Buy a raffle ticket or two. Buy something from the concession stand. No one on the board gets paid. We use the money we earn to upgrade things in the park and add to. When it comes to events we do our best to get as much food and drinks donated as we can. We sometimes can't get absolutely everything donated. We do our best to though. We do everything we do to benefit the community as a whole.

*Thank you to every single person who comes to our events, buys raffle tickets and donates their time. Together your helping make our park better for everyone. *

Here's a bunch of photos sent to us. That show JustinNtiffeny Kasinger and his family getting the roof ready to go on. Robert Samuels and his family and friends have all worked on this. There have been many different folks that have and are volunteering their time to bring this giant project to fruition.This is a community project. We also want to recognize the teenages out here working on this project as well. They are learning good skills while volunteering some of their summer break time to the park. The Japton Community Park can not thank everyone enough for helping to make this happen for the community.

If you happen to go by the park. Slow down and check out the progress Robert Samuels and his crew are making on the pavilion. They are making alot of progress when the weather cooperates. This is your donations at work. Labor is being donated. The park still has to cover anything that isn't donated to us materials wise. I like to keep everyone updated as we progress along. After the pavilion is done. We will need to purchase things such as picnic tables. And some kind of flooring maybe gravel or a concrete slab. That has yet to be determined.

We hold fundraisers and raffles to add new things for our community. We want to have things for families, individuals and visitors of and to our community to do. Your donations help us get there faster. We try hard to offer events, concessions and raffle tickets. That most are able to afford to participate in. Alot of the activities we offer have free things to do at them. When you support us with funding or volunteering it helps us get things taken care of. The events take planning, the concessions have to have help preparing and serving. Everytime you guys show up it makes the time the board spends getting things together worth it. We are your neighbors, friends and family. If you run into Robert Samuels let him know how much you appreciate him getting our new pavilion done.
