The City of Lauderhill will hold a ribbon cutting ceremony, opening a new park located in the West Ken Lark Neighborhood.
On Friday, the 1st of August, 2008, at 10 AM, the residents of West Ken Lark will join Lauderhill’s City Commission to celebrate the opening of a new beautifully landscaped Passive Park at NW 32 Avenue and NW 17 Street.
The idle land was generally described by residents as an eye soar. Residents and members of the West Ken Lark Homeowners’ Association asked the City Commission to transform the quarter of an acre into a Passive Park. Through the City’s General Obligation bond dollars $46,000 was designated to develop this beautiful new Passive Park, located at 3255 NW 17 Street. The President of the West Ken Lark Homeowners’ Association, Mr. James Bradley, states, “I am very happy that the community of West Ken Lark has another park to for everyone to enjoy!”
The New Passive 17th Street Park, similarly to the newly opened Renaissance Park, was developed by the City’s Department of Environmental and Engineering Services employees rather than a contractor to help save money. The staff constructed meandering concrete sidewalks, planted Bahia Sod, new shrubbery and plants – which all require less water than other types of sod and plants. In addition, they transported mature trees that were once on the site of the old City Hall site that was recently demolished. The Park also includes a bike rack and will soon have benches as well.
Join Mr. Bradley, the residents of Lauderhill, and City Officials, as we celebrate the opening of the new NW 17 Street Passive Park in West Ken Lark, Friday, the 1st of August at 10 AM!
Light refreshments will be served.
