The Urban Renewal Agency has partnered with Wilderness International since 2012 to make a wide variety of improvements. This year, the agency invested $13,000 and a team of 22 youths and 36 volunteers contributed over 73 hours in labor. A major area of focus was pond improvements. Tasks included monthly water quality testing, installation of a third fishing platform; installing about 380 native plants, weed control on one acre of the park was completed, and more gravel and mulch was applied for trails.
