If you`ve noticed our parks looking extra beautiful, that is thanks to the hard work put in this past weekend at our annual "Park Beautification Day"!
20 volunteers came out to plant flowers, pick up litter, and help enhance the beauty of our community parks. Work was completed at Hunt Club Park, Viking Park, Ravinia Park, and Vicki Paddock Park.
Thank you to all those who dedicated their time and energy to help get our parks ready for summer!!
