Looking at 2012
Here is what we are working on purchasing for next year: 1) New speakers for the pool area and a PA, 2) Making the pool area a HOT SPOT for WIFI during summer months only, 3) Starting the "zero entry" transition into the pool to meet codes and our master plan, 4) Paint the ice cream shack and possibly some murals, 5) Of course.....FIREWORKS! We are looking forward to our 2012 plans already and have MANY great events in the works already. If you can volunteer for any of the following, please let us know: 1) Coin Drive during the Month of March to raise funds for the fireworks, 2) Easter Festival, 3) 5K and 1 Mile Walk, 4) Derby Duck Race (duckie sellers needed!), 4) Golf Outing (contact Dave Maddalon to help), 5) Summer Concerts in the Park and in the new Amphitheater, 6) Monster Mash Bash.
2011 Fundraisers
The FOTP have raised $15,983 this year during our 2011 fundraisers. We have hosted: a football pool, the Easter Festival, a coin drive at C.V.E and in Zelienople, a Derby Duckie Race, a summer Pool Party, Halloween Monster Mash Bash for Adults and one for children at the Park with an awesome haunted trail. We could not make our events a success without the help of our volunteers, the support of the communities, and the sponsors that we get. Thank you to all who helped us! We have purchased several things for the pool this year: a liquid blanket for the big pool, a pool cover and reel for the baby pool, water heaters for the showers in the pool house bathrooms, 3 new umbrellas and stands for the picnic tables, new picnic tables for the pool deck, the ice cream shack, concrete tables on the outside of the pool house, and 4th of July Fireworks! Fireworks cost us $6,000.
Pool Party, Concert & Movie
The pool party, concert, and movie was a super success and so much fun. What a great great way to end the summer. $500 was raised for the speakers and WiFi.
Park Rules and Regulations
Amendments to the park rules and regulations were approved by the Zelienople Borough Council on July 25, 2011. Amendments were made to the park hours, amplification and sound systems, tobacco free zone, and to an age 12 and under play zone. The new park rules and regulations can be found here: Rules and Regulations for Park use and Conduct.
Solar Cover
A Solar Cover has been purchased by FOTP for the baby pool and has been on warming up the pool on these warm sunny days. We also purchased a "liquid blanket" that will help the big pool not to have the heat escape in the evenings. ICE CREAM will now be sold at the new "Cold Treats" snack shed!
New Equipment
The Rotary has donated new playground equipment that will be arriving in May, please stop to see it. Also, the FOTP purchased TWO beautiful concrete picnic tables outside of the pool house. Please stop and have lunch or dinner there this summer!
