It was amazing to watch the nearly 300 volunteers assemble and install all the new equipment at Tudor Square Park in Kent. A big thank you to all those who came. A big thank you to the folks from Humana and KaBoom and the community activists who applied for the grants.
We live next door to the park. It didn’t take a day. There is a dedicated crew of professionals who work for our Kent Parks Department who started right after Labor Day to have the site ready for the build day. Andy Martin and his crew – Paul Davis, Greg Highsmith, Neil Demerritt, Josh Hopper, John Casy, Josh Kelly and Evan Swanson and I’m sure some I missed, were here nearly every day. They built a new road, excavated the construction site, poured pads and foundations and had it ready by build day.
We are proud to be citizens of Kent and know we have these dedicated staffers to build and maintain our amazing parks. When you see them out in your park, remember to say thank you.
