A
The
one
good
thing
I
can
say
that
came
out
of
this
pandemic
is
people
realized
how
important
park's
role
is
in
everybody's
lives,
their
place
for
outside
for
relaxation,
respite
recreation,
rejuvenation
all
the
hours.
We're
excited
to
have
the
frog
pond
officially
open
the
last
week
of
june
this
year,
we'll
have
some
sort
of
large
celebration
with
ice
creams
and
face
painting
and
activities
for
kids.
All
you
do
is
have
to
show
up
all
free
of
charge.
We
just
ask
you
to
come
out
and
enjoy
your
local
park.
