Saturday in the Park

July 18, 2015 by Charlie London

Just a few of the many wonderful Faubourg St. John neighbors who came out to keep Fortier Park the best pocket park in the city.
Just a few of the many wonderful Faubourg St. John neighbors who came out to keep Fortier Park the best pocket park in the city.

ccc2014-FortierParkMany neighbors came out on Saturday, July 18 to get Fortier Park back in shape.

Neighbors cut back plants, pulled weeds, spread pine straw mulch, planted new things and evaluated the lighting system previously installed by neighbors. Mostly, neighbors took care of general maintenance in Fortier Park.

Refreshments and some supplies were provided. It was a great opportunity for neighbors to get together.
