Click here for pictures of all the great volunteers and work! What a great day with an updated 147 volunteers at Darrell’s Dream Boundless Playground in Warriors’ Path State Park logging an estimated 588 volunteer hours on Saturday, Nov. 18!
Thanks to all the organizations that joined us as well as a large group of individual volunteers. Welcome to our 2 newest organizations – Knoxville TVA Credit Union and Volunteer ETSU! The cutest young children came to help also; it is never too early to teach them about caring for our Park! We missed our volunteer leader and Boundless Playground Chairperson, Mary Steadman, and hope she will heal up fast and be back in charge at the Spring Day of Caring.
Thanks to our sponsors: Dunkin Donuts, Chef’s Pizza, Walmart, Speed Pro, MyCroft, and Office Depot! Also a special thanks to our Park Manager, Chris Cole, and the Park Staff for helping with preparation and working with us!
Friends of Warriors’ Path State Park, a group of concerned citizens, decided to help the Park by establishing a non-profit organization to improve, protect, and preserve Warriors’ Path State Park through user ideas, funding, and volunteer labor. It is important to note that any money you give to Friends goes directly to benefit Warriors’ Path State Park.
Park facilities such as the golf course, campsites, and rentals do generate revenue; however this money goes into the state’s overall budget for all TN State Parks. Monies returned to the Warriors’ Path budget are not adequate to meet current or future needs for maintenance and improvements. And that is where Friends comes in – to provide to the Park for things beyond just the operating budget.
