Park
Being
Cleared
A 7.3-acre site, unused
state property for many
years, will eventually
become a park for Ocean
Hiway travellers, complete
with a picnic area and
nature trails.
Located adjacent to the
Highway Commission
Division Shop on U.S. 17
here, it has been leased by
the state to the Perquimans
County Chamber of Com
merce for a dollar a year.
While that organization
does not have enough money
to improve the property, it
does boast manpower
supplied by some of its
members who donate their
time and such equipment as
trucks and chain saws, to
hack underbrush and un
wanted trees.
About 20 people have been
spending several hours
working at the site during
the past few Saturday af
ternoons, and two Neigh
borhood Youth Corps
members are devoting full
time to the park for eight
weeks this summer.
One of the hardest
workers at the site is Mrs,
Ann Young, whose idea it
was to turn the property into
a park. While not helping to
cart heavy limbs around in
90-plus weather, she
presides over meetings of
the Chamber's Tourist and
Recreation Committee
seeking ideas for the park.
Some that will be utilized
include picnic tables and
grills, a nature trail,
bathrooms, water trash
cans, flower and shrubbery
displays, swings, a graveled
parking area and driveway.
The only other park like it
is in Dare County between
Manns Harbor and Manteo.
It is maintained by the state.
Perquimans County will
put its own money into the
park. The Board of Com
missioners agreed recently
to contribute $2,000. Some
items, such as a few picnic
tables and grills, and some
money, will be donated.
Monthly upkeep is ex
pected to amount to no more
than $10 and the committee
may ask an area civic club
for help in that direction.
They will ask a local high
school science club for help
in maintaining the shrub
bery at the park.
"It will be a project for
them. One teacher has
already expressed a great
deal of interest in it," Mrs.
Young said.
As a beautician the
chairwoman is used to
making people look prettier.
With equal confidence she is
leading the effort to beautify
a neglected piece of land
alongside the Ocean Hiway.
Workers
Needed
Although work steadily
continues on the new U.S. 17
North park site, more
workers are needed.
Under the leadership of
Ann Young, chairwoman,
there will be another work
day Saturday, July 13 at 2
p.m.
Members of the American
Legion, Jaycees, Rotary
Gub, Young Farmer's and
Rarichers, Ruritans and
Lion's Gub are all urged to
come out and donate some
time.. All civic and church
organizations are en
couraged to , send
representatives. , ' ' '
Anyone and everyone is
invited., Manpower is
needed desperately. Only
through cooperation will the
park become a reality. -
