These Make A Great Gift!

One community project that continues to receive time, attention, and funding is the Pitner Park Project.
High winds took their toll on the park several years ago. Since most of the mature trees were reaching their
life-expectancy, several organizations joined forces to coordinate the project with the
Village Board and the Financial/Grant Committee of the former Stratton Community Development
Organization (now the Stratton Area Chamber of Commerce, Inc.) and the Stratton Community Foundation.

Work continues to take place on landscaping projects and an underground sprinkler system is
being considered to help maintain the park.

Improvements at Pitner Park!

Recent improvements include:

A total of forty trees were planted, and flowerbeds with native grasses, roses, and assorted flowers
were recently added. Six new picnic tables along with B-B-Q pits, and numerous trash bins were placed throughout the park. These items were purchased through individual memorial contributions.
In addition to these funds and improvements, a grant was obtained for the addition of
sidewalks throughout the park, and an educational center, illustrating the different native grasses and
types of trees will also be implemented into the design of the new park. Bronze plaques have been placed
near each tree, table, and bench illustrating the memorial gifts. Plaques will soon be placed to
identify each different type of flower and grass.

Some of the new trees planted include Burr Oak, Canadian Red Cherry, Spruce, Indian Magic Crabtree,
Autumn Purple Ash, and many others. These new trees are sure to provide visitors with a beautiful
place to relax and play no matter the season!
