Project "Moms for Kees Park"

The "Moms for Kees Park" project started with a group of ladies who wanted a safe place to bring their children to play. The old Kees Park playground was out of date and the equipment just wasn't up to par. So these industrious ladies got together and started Project Moms for Kees Park. And what success they've had! Just take a look at the pictures at the right to get a glimpse of how much progress has been made. (Click on the pictures for a larger, more detailed view.) 

The new Kees Park Playground is now open to the general public. And it's largely due to the hard work of the following ladies:

Spokesperson: Kimber Collie Wilburn
Committee Members: Hollie Haahn Bellino, Monica Calhoun, Christy Maxwell Clark, Charla Hawthorne Ducote, Michelle Emery, Sheila T. Johnson, Mary Lou Maples, Karen Sampson, Dawn Brenner Toups, Donna Winegeart

Sponsorships for the park are still available. Below are the various levels of sponsorships:

• Flags: $15,000 and up. Only 6 of these are available. Flags with sponsors' names will be placed on top of the play structures, and names will be included in the Platinum sponsors' plaque. (See display at City Hall.)

• Platinum: $10,000-$14,999

• Gold: $5,000-$9,999

• Silver: $2,500-$4,999

• Bronze: $1,000-$2,999

• Brick: $25 per brick

For more information, call: 487-8875.

Flag, Platinum, Gold, Silver & Bronze Sponsors' names will be engraved on plaque(s) and permanently displayed in the park.

To encourage individual citizens, as well as area businesses, to participate in sponsorship of the park, bricks are affordable and can be engraved with personal or business names. A walkway with all the bricks will be constructed as part of the beautification stage. The bricks can also be purchased in memory of or to honor someone else.
