The City of Lakewood’s 9th annual Parks Appreciation Day celebration was held on Saturday, April 24, 2010. Projects were completed at Fort Steilacoom Park, American Lake Park, the city’s Blue Berry Fields and Wards Lake Park/ Full Tilt Riders worked for over three hours. FTR helped with spreading 70 yards of playground chips, 30 yards of trail chips, 12 yards wood mulch in flowerbeds and 20 yards gravel. We installed a 130′ block wall, 2 park benches, 1 BBQ, 1 water faucet, a 45' sidewalk and 45 grave markers. We removed 40 yards of blackberries; 20 yards scotch broom and 10 yards of trash. We planted 750 annual flowers. None of this would have been possible without the support of our local service clubs, churches and volunteer organizations. Thanks to all who helped prepare our parks for the busy spring and summer season
