JAMESTOWN – The Friends of Lillian Dickson Park group will be meeting tonight 6:30 p.m. at the Park at the corner of Falconer and Bowen Streets. The latest monthly meeting is designed to continue the ongoing effort to find ways to improve and renovate the park. The group is spearheaded by the Chautauqua County Health Network’s Creating Healthy Places initiative.
The park group is also working closely with the city and other groups. The Parks Department has already started some initial work at the park, as it recently took down a tree that was in poor condition, removed unsafe playground equipment and installed grills at the park. The city is also working with the architects who consulted on the Roseland Park project to create plans of what the park will eventually look like.
Anyone interested in attending the meeting and learning more about various fundraising and event planning efforts is invited to attend.
