A capital campaign was held in 2018 and 2019 to raise revenues to help build Jones Park. It was a great success with over 75 separate donors comprised of businesses, organizations, families, and individuals. Nearly $100,000 in monetary donations were received, plus several thousand dollars were donated in plants and construction in-kind.  Jones Park Donors (PDF).

A plaque acknowledging the donors has been attached to the pit, along with a set of rules for playing the game. Enjoy!
