On June 30,
2014, a Resolution was passed by the City of Lauderhill’s Mayor and Commission
to name a parcel of undeveloped park land in the West Ken Lark Community after
a longtime Community Activist – then President of the West Ken Lark Homeowners’
Association James D. Bradley, Jr.
The four acre
parcel of land located at 3100 NW 16 Street on the west side of NW 31 Avenue was
pursued by President Bradley with hopes of it becoming a park for the residents
of his community to enjoy. City leaders
agreed and sought Community Development Block Grant and Land Preservation Bond
dollars for the land acquisition as well as enhancements.
Vice Mayor
Hayward J. Benson, Jr., sponsored the resolution to name the park after Mr.
Bradley explained, “Mr. Bradley was an
extraordinary man. He served his community ardently and never took no for an
answer. So many people benefited from his perseverance. Creating a park in his honor is a small token
we can offer for a man who provided leadership to a community he revered.”
The Ribbon
Cutting and Dedication of the James D.
Bradley, Jr. Park is going to be on Thursday, December 4 at 3:30 pm. The
park is located at 3100 NW 16 Street.
After the
Ribbon Cutting Ceremony and Dedication, refreshments will be served at Fortunes Bar and Grill located at 1451
NW 31 Avenue.
