JAMESTOWN – Lillian Dickson Park is starting to see improvements and will see even more this Saturday. That’s according to an article in today’s Jamestown Post-Journal, which says the Lillian Dickson Park group is making progress toward upgrading and renovating the park to make it safer and more family-friendly.
The group is spearheaded by the Chautauqua County Health Network’s Creating Healthy Places initiative.
The park group is also working closely with the city and other groups. The Parks Department has already started some initial work at the park, as it recently took down a tree that was in poor condition, removed unsafe playground equipment and installed grills at the park. The city is also working with the architects who consulted on the Roseland Park project to create plans of what the park will eventually look like.
To make the park itself safer, this Saturday during Hands On Jamestown Cleanup Day the group plans on installing a fall zone area under the current playground equipment and trim lower branches from trees at the back of park to open it up for better visibility, among other activities. Anyone wanting to help out and learn more is encouraged to stop by the Park Clean up effort on Saturday, which begins at 8 a.m.
The next official group meeting will be Tuesday, June 19, at 6:30 p.m. at the Lillian Dickson Park.
