Falls Park Pond.
On Saturday March 28, 1998, thirty-four volunteers completed the Falls
Park fishing pond for children and the handicapped. Project tasks were
staining the bridge decking, hand finish work on the grounds and debris
removal form irrigation channel, rockery work, applying sand and
bentonite mixture to seal the pond bottom, constructing four wheelchair
fishing platform stations and planting wild rose bushes for bank erosion
control. The Post Falls Parks District started this project. As the end
of this project approached, the park district needed volunteer help to
complete the pond. They approached NIFC for assistance in finish work
around the pond. This allowed the club to bring in many members who had
a variety of skills that complemented the needs of the district. At the
end of project, Post Falls Park and Recreation Director, Dave Fair
commented that the club completed more work in one day than he crew
could complete in several weeks. The club later received a beautiful
lithograph print of the pond signed by the artist and Post Falls
community leaders. This put-and-take fishery is open to children and the
handicapped exclusively. |
