"I think with COVID we understood that park usage went up. Just to see kids getting out and about, families are having lunch here, we have something for all ages. It’s great to see people are using their community resources," said Kathryn Busch.

The Lakewood Service League said it wanted to bring in equipment that helped build different skills and catered to children of all ages.
