Fountain Park project

Recently, the Vantage Career Center’s Buildings and Grounds Program lent a helping hand to the Van Wert Parks Department by installing a cement access pad to the band pavilion in Fountain Park. Parks & Recreation Department Director Sue Heppeard said she is grateful to instructor Larry Mengerink and his class for forming and laying the cement, while Street Department crews assisted the students in removing and hauling the sidewalk debris. The new pad will offer easier access for bands to load and unload their equipment during the Summer Concert Series held in the Park. Van Wert Rotary Club financially supported the project.
