Friends of Mang Park
|
Do you use Mang Park to walk, play a sport, or read under a tree? If so, then you probably have some observations and ideas about it. The KVIS Friends of Mang Park initiative is a way for Village residents and friends to advocate for the park while helping to form and realize a vision for it that will support this vital community resource. Friends of Mang Park meetings are lively with discussion about the green spaces, trees and plants, sporting areas, community buildings, paths, pools, and more. Please consider becoming a Friend of Mang Park today! To help with this initiative just contact the KVIS or come to the next Public Properties Committee meeting.
