Also, the implementing of barbecue grills and additional picnic tables is underway. Another effort to brighten up the park was the removal of several dead trees, and reclaiming of some property south of the park. “We realize the park will be used more if we take car*e of it,” said Acton. “The effort has been made, and now we hope people take advantage of the park.” The park also offers a nice playground area for the children, along with equipment they can use.

Use common sense when swimming in area lakes

The arrival of the summer season means fun and frolic time; however, in the Lakeland area, as well as anywhere else, common sense and safety are important when it comes to swimming. Here are some tips and reminders to be aware of when getting ready to enter the water: Never swim alone. Always use the buddy system. Don’t over-eat before swimming and always allow at least one hour after eating to avoid cramps in the legs and arms. Before entering the water, be aware of conditions which exist in the area. It’s a good idea to ask other swimmers about depth and characteristics of the lake bottom.
