Warsaw Rotary Park Ribbon Cutting

Friday, September 25, 2020

 

We were so excited to have a ribbon cutting today celebrating the new Rotary Park! This park was created by Warsaw Rotary Club as a project to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Warsaw Club. The project was implemented by the City of Warsaw, IN and Warsaw Rotary. The park was designed by Justin Taylor, Senior City Planner. Thanks to all the donors and brick sales, they raised almost $100,000 to help make the park a reality.
