Friends of Woodland Park - "Totally Turtle" Campaign is 100% Funded!

WE DID IT! "Totally Turtle" Campaign is 100% Funded!

The Friends of Woodland Park are excited to announce that we have achieved our fund-raising goal for the Turtle playscape sculpture by Dylan Conner. We are thrilled and humbled by the generosity of so many park enthusiasts and we look forward to working with Dylan to bring this permanent play structure to the park in Fall of 2022. As a small recognition, we have a special thank you page on our website for all of our donors.

For those who have not donated and wish to have their names or honorees included on the donor plaque, we are keeping the fundraising campaign (and name-the-turtle contest!) open until the end of January 2022. No donation is too small, and all donations above $250 will be honored on the Donor Plaque. Any donations above the turtle project needs will be used for park improvements and educational messaging. So if you want to be permanently recognized for contributing to this community park improvement, please be sure to go to our website.

Our next Woodland Park Bird Survey will take place on Saturday February 19 at 7:30 am. All welcome and bring binoculars if you have them.
