​

The Legacy for LS Parks Foundation was proud to participate in the rededication and ribbon cutting ceremony at Pleasant Lea Park on Saturday February 11, 2023. The park, located at 1108 SW Walnut Street was completely renovated through the efforts of talented LSPR staff, and included the installation of new playground equipment, a new multi-sport court, enhancements to the trail system and nature play components.

 

The Legacy for LS Parks Foundation awarded LSPR a grant in the amount of $20,000 which not only provided funding for the new shelter at the park, but also assisted LSPR in being eligible to receive a $250,000 grant from the Land Water Conservation Fund for the project.
