Lake Petocka Playground Completed
South Shelter Building Receives New Roof and Siding
Installation of the bright new playground equipment next to the Lake Petocka south shelter has been completed. A ribbon cutting ceremony attended by about 50 people was held on October 1. City Council member Eric Johnson (representing the University of Iowa) and Park & Recreation Board Chairman Josh Duden (cooking for Iowa State) sweated over a hot grill for several minutes cooking hotdogs.
The City received a Prairie Meadows Community Betterment Grant of $10,000 to assist with funding. Volunteers from Cross Pointe Church and Boy Scout Troop 10 helped with erection and landscaping. Earlier this year the Bondurant Lions Club spent several days installing new roofing and siding at the South Shelter building next to the new playground equipment. Everyone familiar with this building will agree that it looks much better! THANK YOU to the Bondurant Lions Club for the construction work. Ceiling painting and paint were donated by FC Cooperative. The interior and exterior siding were painted by Boy Scout Troop 10. Thanks to all who contributed to this project!
