LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Westside Community Park Committee announced that it is beginning work on the second phase of the park's Memorial Grove development.
Committee Chair Dennis Rollins said the first phase of the Memorial Grove recently was completed.
The grove was planted with 12 oak trees in April, as Lake County News has reported: http://bit.ly/1UnkkbT .
Rollins said the final work included the installation of a bench donated by the Clear Lake Trowel and Trellis Club and the covering of the grove with 22 yards of woodchips donated by Lake County Waste Solutions.
This followed the construction of a concrete slab to support the bench. That work was performed as a donation by Gary Milhaupt, owner of Sundance Tile and Marble, and his son, Derek.
Rollins said the second phase of the Memorial Grove development will be composed of etched red bricks. Bricks are on sale for $100 each.
They can be etched with up to three lines of text in remembrance or recognition of an individual or group chosen by the purchaser, Rollins said.
Rollins said the sale of bricks initially was begun years ago. Those records had been lost but recently were found by a previous member of the park's board of directors.
“All of the previous purchasers will have their bricks etched and included in this new area,” said Rollins.
If anyone has a question about a previous purchase they may contact Rollins at 707-349-0969.
Bricks may be ordered on the committee’s Web site at www.westsidecommunitypark.org .
They also be available at the committee’s annual fundraiser, Grillin’ on the Green from 5 to 8 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 6, at the Westside Community Park, 1401 Westside Park Road.
