The Town of Lamont’s Picnic in the Park was a great success as over 200 community members enjoyed an evening of refreshments and activities at Hillside Park on Sept. 7.
Games and activities were hosted by Family & Community Support Services, Lamont Fire Department brought trucks and a visit from Sparky, and the Parks & Recreation Committee hosted Frisbee Golf demonstration and a free frisbee giveaway and an update was provided on Tawâw Park.
Town of Lamont Deputy CAO Dawn Nielsen said, “It was fantastic to see so many people from the community supporting the annual event.”
Mayor Kirk Perrin updated attendees on progress for Tawâw Park. Construction of the pavilion commenced on August 31, 2023, and will be completed in time for September 30. The Town is awaiting delivery of the playground equipment. Installment of the playground will commence shortly after delivery.
Tawâw Park will be constructed through a combination of volunteers (project partners and residents) and support from Playquest. Playquest is the vendor that the playground equipment is purchased from.
The completed project will total approximately $225,000 (monetary plus in-kind donations). Additionally, Elders Evelyn Day and Vyna Fluney provided guidance throughout the initiative.
