On April 15, 2005, nomination forms requesting funds for the restoration of the park were sent to Nassau County by the Wellness Council, the Lions Club, the Chamber of Commerce, Seaford Manor PTA, the Booster Club and the Key Club. The nominations detailed the condition of the park and included suggestions for it's improvement. As a result, the Wellness Council met with Nassau County Park officials on Monday June 27, 2005 to survey the park and plan on a program for its restoration. We are delighted to report that Nassau County has earmarked $581,000 from the Environmental Bond Issue to the restoration of Washington Ave. Park. In addition, the Nassau County Parks Dept. capital budget has allocated an additional $369,000 for upgrades and improvements to the park. Clean up has already begun and major capital improvements will follow. |
