Several months ago the Lambertville Parks and Recreation Commission in Central New Jersey decided this year they will focus their attention primarily on safety and maintenance issues at area parks. This is instead of other programs that are usually offered but which have been cut because of budget concerns. When money is tight states are focusing in on the most important aspects of their job. In this case it’s keeping children safe at playgrounds.
Last month volunteers improved the Cavallo Park playground, near the canal towpath. They installed a large amount of rubber mulch at the playground. The rubber mulch was donated by Sunny Day Preschool in Stockton.
”Speaking for myself and not each and every member of the commission, my sincere hope in an ideal world would be that the city could offer a vibrant summer program as well as well-maintained, safe, well-equipped parks and upgraded equipment for everyone’s use and enjoyment,” said the commission chairman Robert Garrenger.
