Making progress

I know we're long overdue for an update, but this one is worth the wait! City officials are working to save the gazebo!! If all goes well, the gazebo will be refurbished this Spring! Of course this is still pending City Council approval, so I will keep everyone updated.

The City's involvement is certainly a step in the right direction however our other concerns have yet to be addressed. I am continuing to communicate the community does not want the solid structures to be replaced with fabric shade structures. Also our concerns around the lack of general maintenance and upkeep of the park including the following:

  1. Signage replacement
  2. Cleaning and painting of the exterior walls and accessibility ramp railing
  3. Overall landscaping and lawn care, including removal of overgrown weeds
  4. Cleaning of items such as the time capsule, cairn, and cabinets under the water tower

I've done my best to communicate these concerns and I have been asked to be patient.

I plan to attend the upcoming City Council meetings to show City officials the community's needs have not been met. I fully believe with the help of the City, all items can be addressed! Thank you all for your continued support.
