Park upkeep still residents big gripe

A second meeting with County Parks and Rec and the local citizens was filled with frustration over the lack of any progress in cleaning up Ben Lomond Park. Aside from the dam needing repair the park needs some basic maintenance done. Suggestions for larger improvements made by the Parks Leadership were met with negative comments. The local citizens would like the $10,000 supposedly earmarked for repairs to be spent on basic items for the local residents. The meeting ended with no specific plans.
