Westside Community Park

We thank Justin at the Lakeport Cinema 5 for his support of Grillin’ on the Green.  Click here to see the ad that is running at the theater now.

The Committee recently took possession of a new Husqvarna commercial lawn mower. We thank Jim Mayfield, owner of Rainbow Ag, for selling the mower at cost.  This saved more than $2,500.  The used mower which had been purchased years ago at auction had gotten to be to difficult to keep operational.

This year’s Fun Walk & Run took place on Sunday, May 27, 2018.  Participants enjoyed a beautiful morning at the park.  The Committee thanks Guy Strohmeier’s Auto Center for the use of a van to shuttle people back to the park from the end of the run at the Kiwanis Craft Fair.

The Clear Lake Trowel & Trellis Garden Club has completed replanting the landscaping around the entry sign on Parallel Drive.  What a huge improvement!  The plant selection and placement is great.  As the plants grow and mature the low sign will still be visible.  See the picture below with Garden Club members and the Kiwanis Club of Lakeport members who helped with shoveling gravel.  In addition to thanking the Trowel & Trellis Club, we also thank RB Peters for his donation, the park’s neighbor to the North, the TANF office, for allowing a connection to their water service to supple irrigation water (They are paying for the increased water usage as well!) and to Jim Ruzicka who completed the water connection and ran the line across the creek where we were able to connect.

The Pump Track was opened in May, 2017 and is receiving a lot of use.

The Committee thanks the Rotary Club of Lakeport for funding its development and Richard Neils for managing the project.

The City Council approved the Committee’s requested relocation of the Equestrian Center to a more appropriate site.  This Lake County News article tells all about it.
