Volunteers turned out to Kobau Park in force on the weekend, making short work out of a big seasonal clean up job at the popular baseball park.
Upwards of 30 people were engaged under cloudy and cool, but dry conditions during this year’s Saturday, March 22 effort.
New dirt was spread on the baseball infields, leaves raked and binned and a number of park improvements done within a four hour timeframe spanning Saturday morning and afternoon.
New goal posts for a soccer field were installed, picnic tables sanded and stained, and new plaques for the park’s memorial trees were installed to replace existing wooden posts. Work on the infield for the park’s second baseball field was startedas well.
“A big thanks to everyone who came out,” said clean up crew spokeperson Marie Marven. “It was also nice to see some community members coming out for the first time as well.”
