The organization is actively accepting donations to complete the remaining fencing around the park. Generous grants, individual donors, and community contributions have already raised over $20,000.The Rotary Club’s contributions extend beyond fencing; it previously financed park columns and electrical infrastructure.“We are a club that desires to do things that need to be done for the community,” said Sylacauga Rotary Club member Paul Golden. “This [project] right here is amazing. It’s what we as a Rotary Club want to be doing.”
