LAKEPORT >> The Westside Community Park (WCP) has a new equipment storage building. It is located on the Jane Barnes Field. This building will allow for the storage of equipment by the sports leagues utilizing the athletic fields. It also provides a secure location for storage of maintenance equipment belonging to the WCP Committee.
The Jane Barnes Field is used by the Konocti Youth Soccer League from August through late November and by the Westshore Little League from March through early June. Hundreds of children and their families utilize the park each year.
Dennis Rollins, Chairperson of the Westside Community Park Committee, said, “This new building is only possible because of the donation of labor, materials and money received from the community.”
Merritt Construction, the Kiwanis Club of Lakeport, members of the WCP Committee and the Little League Board turned out on several Saturdays to provide the labor.
Clear Lake Redi-Mix and RB Peters teamed up to pour the foundation. Davis Fabrication & Ornamental Design and Economy Heating & Cooling donated all of the metal work. Dewey & Sons Painting and Plaza Paints came together to see that the building was painted.
For security, Lake County Lock & Safe, donated non-duplicable keys.
Rollins added, “Lumber and construction materials were provided to the Committee by Mendo Mill & Lumber Company at a huge discount. Mendo Mill has been providing this type of support for years”
“The funding for this project was raised at the annual Grillin’ on the Green BBQ Cook-off.”, Rollins pointed out.
The Jane Barnes Field and adjacent space is being developed and operated by the Westside Community Park Committee, a registered non-profit corportation, under a lease agreement with the City of Lakeport.
