Thank you to everyone who joined us this morning for the Alsen Park Playground Ribbon Cutting and Celebration! 🎉🛝

It was wonderful to celebrate this milestone with the Alsen community and the partners who helped bring these improvements to life. From the new playground and pavilion to the raised garden beds and sidewalks, these enhancements create more opportunities for families to play, gather and connect. 🌳

We’re grateful to everyone who shared their input, supported this project and celebrated with us. We look forward to seeing Alsen Park continue to grow as a welcoming space for the community for years to come! 💚
