Artist by Heart Check out www.facebook.com/michael.hayward. www.mikerichdesign.com Bringing Our Park Back to the People Friendship Park was getting weathered and was in need of many repairs. We didn’t want the taxpayers to take on the entire burden of the expense. The solution? Waterboro Rec formed a Park Improvement Fund where many repairs are now being done with funds raised from donations and sponsorships! (Over $12,000 raised so far!) In the last few months we’ve begun completely remodeling the older, larger Snack Shack so we can resume the sale of concessions at our events! We’ve added service windows, a new roof, repaired the walls, installed new plumbing, rewired for 200amp electrical and more! A new spotlight was added to shine on our American Flag and lights are being added to the bandstand. At the little league field we’ve repainted the dugouts inside and out, tended to the field itself and are turning the old, smaller Snack Shack into storage for Shaker Valley Little League. However, it wasn’t just the Rec Department making all this happen. We worked cooperatively with our Department of Public Works, our Maintenance Department, Normand Electric and our biggest thanks to Dave Moreau, owner of ACH Plumbing and Heating who donated his time to redo all the plumbing! Our next big plans are to redo the playground area.
