Starin Park has seen a lot of activity all summer and into the fall.  From the formation of the Arboretum at Starin Park; the installation of the WE-GO-ROUND; planting (and watering) of hundreds of trees and bushes; to the most recent addition of the Arboretum Information Kiosk begun on Friday, Nov. 4.

With a generous donation from Generac Power Systems, and a large crew of volunteers from Generac, the Urban Forestry Commission and local citizens, the framework was completed even as the crew needed to work between rainstorms.  Generac provided the funds, manpower and even lunch for the crew, which was greatly appreciated.  The roof will be completed next week.  

Be sure to take a walk through Starin Park, as the weather continues to be unseasonably warm and enjoy these new additions.
