Save South Lewis County Park

Keeping our public park public — and cared for.

South Lewis County Park serves local families and visitors alike. It needs basic repairs and ongoing care. GTHH is leading a park-first campaign to secure the site and complete essential fixes so it remains safe, clean, and welcoming.

Community over rumors: This effort is about stewardship, not private development. There are no developers behind our work.

Immediate priorities

  • Restore restrooms and picnic shelters.
  • Rebuild worn picnic tables.
  • Repair docks and ramps for safe access.
  • Improve pond health with aeration.
  • Refresh signage; confirm the public name with community input.

Our approach

  • Listen first; act in phases.
  • Respect downtown heritage and existing community patterns.
  • Pursue grants and broader philanthropy; no new taxes.
  • Coordinate with county and city processes.
