The Union Township Lions Club has scheduled a work day at the Union Township Park on Saturday, April 13th, starting at 4 p.m.
Workers will prepare the playground area for a new and larger playground structure which is being donated by the Lions club, as it did back in 1977.
“We would like to invite local residents to help the Lions club just as they did in 1977 when the Union Township Park was built with labor supplied by the local community,” the club said in making the announcement. “Please bring shovels, rakes, cordless driver/drill, and a great attitude.”
Plans call for removing the old wood mulch in the play area so a truck/trailer will be needed to load it.
“We will be expanding the play area and leveling it for the new equipment,” the Lions said. “With generous help from the community, this should take less than two hours.”
If there is enough help, “spring cleaning” will be done around the outside area, removing leaves, twigs and other winter debris.
“We encourage any youth groups (church, 4-H, Scouts, etc.) to come together and help with this project,” the Lions said.
The club will have diagrams and pictures of the new playground equipment for everyone to see.
In the event of inclement weather, the work day will be postponed to Tuesday, April 16, at 6 p.m.
