A huge thank you to local teen Ava Reese for helping our staff keep Liberty’s parks clean and welcoming! Ava is a Scout with Scouting of America, and her club, the Trash Pandas, dedicates time each month to caring for our community spaces.
This past Saturday, Ava and her dad spent three hours at Freedom Park, collecting three full bags of trash and helping restore the park to its best. Thanks to her hard work, our facilities look clean and inviting once again.
We truly appreciate you, Ava. Your commitment to our parks and your community does not go unnoticed. Keep up the great work!
