The next time you drive through the park be sure to notice our new street signs. The park is honoring 3 of our longest termed volunteers. Fred McNair, Gene Purcell and Lee Waldroup have combined more than 150 years of volunteering for the Park. We cannot thank them enough for all they’ve done. (Fred wasn’t available for a picture today).

Another big thank you! The park received a Mary Heath Foundation grant to pay for the balance of the cost to install the handicap ramp on the community facility building. The park can continue to make improvements with community grants such as this. Thank you!!
