Friends of the Park

The Current Park Board Volunteer Members would like to extend a sincere thank you to the Friends of The Park. These are the many people - residents and corporate citizens - whose generosity of money, time, talents, and personal efforts have contributed to our ability to develop, maintain, and improve our park. We could not do it without you!
