Primos Park

Primos is YOUR park. Kids need nature, and nature needs kids. Your gift will help both at Primos Park.  Learn more on the Primos Park project webpage.

Primos es su parque. Los niños necesitan la naturaleza y la naturaleza necesita a los niños. Su donación ayudara a los dos en el Parque de los Primos. Vistite la pagina del proyecto de Primos Park para obtener más información.

In July 2022, the Military Officers Association of America (MOAA) provided a proposal for a memorial display dedicated to Bill Bower. The central feature of the interpretive area will be a cast bronze interpretive plaque mounted on a metal pedestal. Artwork in the area will include a B-25 propeller blade, similar to the blade BIll Bower had prominently displayed in his yard. In addition, traditional turf will be replaced by hardy, pollinator-friendly trees, shrubs and ground cover.

We need your support securing the full donation funding for the project!  Once secured, we can break ground and start construction. Help us reach our goal to break ground and begin construction by spring 2025!
