Sponsor a Picket program
To bring community spirit to our park we are offering to engrave names or
sayings on the picket fence that will be added to the park. This is a great way to honor your children or another loved
one, remember someone who has passed away, display your family name, business
name, or even a pet's name. Your name or saying can be engraved for a minimum $50 tax-deductible donation.
You may choose one line of up to 18 characters, or 2 lines up
to 13 characters each. Spaces are included in these limits. The children of our community thank you for helping to
provide them with a safe and fun atmosphere to play in.
