Community Park Project
During the past several years, community members have been working on the Teasdale Park including the addition of a pavilion, athletic field, playground equipment, and trees. Each Spring and Fall, a park day is used to work on the park. In addition, fund raisers such as the farmer's market and community garage sale are used to raise money.
