The third week of April saw the fruition of a plan brought into reality by hard work. The Rotary Club partnered with the City of Wauseon to equip North Park with a new playground.
The Rotary Club donated $72,000 towards the purchase of the equipment, which was through Playground Boss out of Dallas, Texas.
The installation was performed by Tracy Peluso of Arkansas.
Mayor Kathy Huner, Administrative Assistant Brooke Baumgartner, and Wauseon Rotary Club member Larry Zimmerman met on April 24, 2023 to oversee the progress made thus far at North Park, with Mayor Huner thanking the Rotary Club for their willingness to donate to bettering the community.
Zimmerman noted that this accomplishment was only the beginning of a long list of accomplishments that the Rotary Club hopes to achieve through its partnership with the City of Wauseon, and both parties are looking forward to sprucing up the city.
