T

he Wanaka Upper Clutha Lions has raised $14,952 this year for a very special project to celebrate 100 years of the Lions club. The centennial legacy project provided funds for what the club believes is New Zealand’s first wheelchair-user friendly and easily accessible barbecue and a new picnic area at the community-led development in Allenby Park. The UC Lions have raised $7000, with $3000 raised by the Leos, a group of young volunteers, and $4500 donated from the Lloyd Morgan Trust which originally started the Lions in NZ. The cheque for $14,952 was delivered by Shirley Dickson and Ann Saunders from UC Lions to Queenstown Lakes District Council Councillor Quentin Smith on Saturday July 14. Since then the UC Lions has received another grant of $8000 from the Lions Foundation to go towards a new shelter at Allenby Park. Ann Saunders who has been organising and planning the park funding along with other UC Lions members for the past year said the park is looking great and complete funding is not too far away. The park was scheduled to officially open on July 22 but the date is yet to be confirmed, as the asphalt still has to be laid and is weather dependent. As well as receiving a cheque on Saturday, 118 new trees were planted at the park. QLDC Parks and Recreation team member Diana Mason, along with 12 community members, planted the new additions. “I think it was great, the community is so supportive and keen to be involved,” Diana said. In order to finish the park area, $2500 still needs to be acquired which Ann hopes to get in the next few weeks.
