Let’s Play! Burton Park Re-Opens…

Well, word definitely got out that Burton Park was re-opening tonight because there were LOTS of people at the ribbon cutting ceremony.  Note that Joe the Plumber and Joe Six-Pack were not in attendance, as far as I could see, but the White Oaks Blog News Team was (my eight-year old and I.)   There were easily 250+ people jammed into the new park to hear the speeches and to see the park open up.  Park and Rec Director Barry Weiss addresses the crowd above…It was great to see such excitement and anticipation for the new park.

After a few well deserved recognitions, the ribbon was cut and there was a mad dash for the playground…

With warm weather in the forecast for this weekend, I'm sure the new park will get quite a workout.  Be sure to check it out — they did a great job!
