BEAUTIFUL PARK AND LAKE

The park spans over 20 acres with 3 acres of lake. It’s a beautiful green area with flowers, trees and bushes throughout. A barbecue grill and covered picnic tables lend themselves to small gatherings.

DONATE

With your help, we can maintain this beautiful park and community center and also pay for improvements and events. In addition to general maintenance cost for cleaning the community center and bathrooms as well as keeping the grounds up, we are currently pursuing several projects that need funding. Our biggest new project is the purchase and installation of a floating fountain with LED lights. The estimated cost is $5,000.
