Heath, Texas, September 26, 2023 – The sun setting over the lake with soft instrumentals of classic hits filling the air of the beautifully groomed Terry Park set the scene as community members honored legacies of service and generosity at the Sunset Swings Dedication Ceremony on September 21.
Recent updates in Terry Park include the new swinging benches overlooking the lake that were dedicated during the ceremony in remembrance of former Park Board Chair Virginia “Ginny” Jackson and former councilmembers Joe Chamberlain and Bob Hille.
Each of the servant leaders were honored by dignitaries and family as their portraits were on display with the bronze plaques to be mounted on a swinging bench.
Recurring contributors and one-time donors to the Parks And Trails Path of Heath fund-raising program were also recognized during the ceremony including:
* Impact Selector International led by Heath residents David Lane and Jason Hradecky;
*D & D Commercial Landscape Management owned by Heath resident Donnie Watts; and the
*Heath Economic Development and Municipal Benefits Corporation, which dedicates 25 percent of its annual sales tax revenue to park and community improvement projects.
PATH’s newest donors, Kathy and Bob Tolbert of Heath, were announced as well. The Tolbert’s are providing a matching contribution to complete the sunset swings area in Terry Park with a new all abilities accessible playground featuring multiple slides and climbing components.
“We’re a Park City,” said Mayor Kelson Elam. “From the current leadership to Ginny Jackson, Bob Hille, Joe Chamberlain and those before them, we have been blessed by a shared commitment to preserving and enhancing the beautiful surroundings and recreation that make Heath a special place to live.”
