Dedication of
Treasured Island planned for July 9
You may have noticed a brand new look in the Greenville City Park.
Through the efforts of the non-profit group, Friends of the Greenville
City Parks, the Treasured Island in the large pond has been
restored. Planning and fundraising efforts began last
September. The group held a 50/50 reverse raffle that raised
close to $5000. Donations large and small were received from
those who wished to help. Local VFW Post 7262 donated funds to purchase
a 30’ flagpole. The Coppock Hole Foundation, a longtime supporter of
community beautification projects, provided a sizeable donation which
allowed the project to become a reality this spring. Many hours
of planning went into the project which was managed by local
contractor, Tom Lucas. Tom volunteered to work with Hupman’s
Landscape and Piqua Crane Co. to plan the logistics of moving equipment
and supplies to the site. Each step of the project was planned out to
maximize the time and cost of the restoration which was completed in 3
days. To thank all those involved who donated time, money and
services, a dedication of the Treasured Island will take place on
Sunday July 9 at 5:00. Everyone is welcome to attend. The
dedication will be held at the northwest corner of the large pond
beside Wilson Ave. Please bring your own lawn chair.
