Your help is important!
Consider all the different subjects we need
to think about in order to make a difference in the use of a public
park:
- The environment
- Neighborhood needs
- Public policy
- Recreation and Park officials
- Elected officials
- Existing park uses
- Attending meetings
And more!
What this means is, Save McLaren Park wears
a lot of different hats and we need your help!
Below are the current Save McLaren Park committees
with information on how and how to contact and what you can do. Please
eMail the committee you want to help. With all of us working
together, we can indeed Save McLaren Park.
