Drew Nielsen Park

September 16 Meeting Notes and Photos

by

On September 16, we welcomed fall by gathering outside at Drew Nielsen Park on our standard Thursday at 6:30 pm. We got to meet some new neighbors, hear about our plans for the park and the information board, and be together. It was a nice time.

About 28 folks gathered this night, including a youngster, and a few dogs, too. We mainly discussed the park planting and clean up event set for Saturday, October 2 from 9am to 1pm led by Holly. Also, Tim gave an update on the park information board featuring descriptions of Drew Nielsen, the park’s namesake, and the Northwest Neighborhood.

Our next meeting will be back on Zoom with guest speaker, Mayor Cassie Franklin, on Thursday, October 21 at 6:45pm. If you have questions you want to ask her, please email those in advance to Kari, who will forward them on to Nichole with the City.
