Renovating the Park
We as a group wanted to give something to the community, and we thought adding some exciting elements for all ages to our park was a great idea for our town. We have a park that is an amazing blank space full of climbing tires and disc golf, but we imagine it to be more and, with the community's input, are working toward making it a reality.
THE PEOPLE VOTED, AND WE ARE DELIVERING, BRINGING SEVERAL NEW ASPECTS TO THE PARK, COMPLETELY UPGRADING THE SPACE FOR THE COMMUNITY.
PARKOUR
A body that stays in motion stays healthier, and that's what we aim to provide with having a parkour section in our park. This area will help enhance upper body strength and stamina. |
TENNIS COURT
Tennis is a great cardiovascular activity that is great in pairs or for singles. We happen to have two courts but really just need one, so resurfacing that one is in the works. |
SKATE PARK
As of August 2019, Alberton has a skatepark! We've been so happy to see all ages, from children as young as 1 years old to as young as 60+. Next steps for this area are to install benches, picnic tables, permanent garbage cans, and lights to enable use up to 9 PM.

MUSIC
Everyone loves music, and we are no different. It is an all-ages activity that is both stimulating and relaxing. In cooperation with art and music students at the school, the first installation took place in July 2018 with the addition of these two xylophones, created by Matt Sibert and the Alberton School Art students. More upcycled musical pieces will be added over time. |
WALKING PATH
A 1/3-mile walking path will follow the perimeter of the park, providing a safe place for community members to walk while enjoying the park's scenic features. This will be the final phase of the park updates. |
