Friends of Warriors’ Path have been hosting the volunteer days at Darrell’s Dream Boundless Playground for 18 years now! Weather on Saturday, April 26, was a concern due to some rain forecasted and some dark clouds as we gathered. However, approximately 200 volunteers turned out in force and worked right through the shower we had during the morning, resulting in over 700 volunteer hours being worked at the Playground. Many hands made the work go faster, and we were able to open the Playground back up to the public earlier than the 3 pm estimated time!
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.
