This project is complete. Anyone interested in assisting with  projects are welcome to attend the Friends of Jacob Myers Park meeting on the fourth Wednesday of each month.

Teen Center

The City has received a grant to help fund this project. We have a very strong and active Youth and Teen Committee to act as a design and consulting team for this center. We need to raise some funds to provide a match for the grant. Please watch for our fundraisers and if you can help with a donation, please call the recreation office. Construction on this center will begin during the summer of 2008 and be complete in 2009.
