Jefferson Does
Itself Proud In
Big Civic Plan

Friday, August ID, brings the
summer of recreational activity
to a close. Not only for the chill
dren of West jefferson but also
the adults. The program has
reached greater heights than was
originally expected and the new
community Park and Playground
has begun to take shape with the
many activity areas provided and
the additional park facilities.
Some of the facilities that have
been placed in the park and play
ground are as follows: outdoor
fireplaces, picnic tables, water
fountain and hydrant, badminton
courts, clay horseshoe courts, out
door shuffleboard courts, sand
boxes, croquet, archery range,
tennis courts, outdoor basketball
courts and outdoor volleyball
courts. New playground equip
ment has been installed such as
teeter boards, swings, slides, and
climbing towers, not only for the
older children, but also for the
pre-school children. A new fence
has been installed for the safe
keeping of the property, equip
ment, and most of all to protect
the children. Baseball dugouts
were also added to the ball field.
The plans have not all been
completed as a shelter house,
toilet and storage building, and
flag pole. This will provide
West Jefferson with one of the
most completely furnished park
and Fairgrounds for any town of
comparable size in TIE State of
Ohio.
The blacktop platform furnished
by the West jefferson Business
Mems Association, has been used
for outdoor roller skating and
outdoor dancing.
