So proud of our volunteers! We are so fortunate to have such a beautiful park and all those who take care of it!

Just in time for the Fourth of July heat wave and Americas 250th birthday, all three fountains are rebuilt, and back in action!

Special thanks to the members of Kernel Nut Club , Sons of the Germantown Legion, Kohnen Concrete, Ritzheimer Electric, Germantown Spassfest, and members of the park board for not only helping secure the funding, but also the install done on them before the summer heat wave, they looked fantastic this evening!

Also we wanted to give a sincere appreciation to the sprucing up around the lake by the Germantown Improvement club, everything around the lake looks fantastic!
