We hope to raise enough money by June of this year to replace the track over the summer. Please spread the word about this exciting new project and check out the website at www.parklandtrack2021.com . There is a DONATE NOW button on the website for those interested in donating. We also have a Go Fund Me page. It will take a village to raise the money needed but we can do it!
