Volunteers Sought for City Parks

Several community groups, including the schools, city officials, and youth sport organizations, met in September to identify improvements needed in the Clawson parks. The Parks & Recreation Advisory Board is coordinating the efforts. Since local funding is very limited, we are looking for volunteers to assist in these projects. Some of the areas would include licensed electricians, painters, landscapers, and general maintenance. Please help support your community. For more information, call Mickey Alderman at the Parks & Recreation office at 248.589.0334. Click here for a list of City Park improvements.
