Hundreds of Lower Colorado River Authority employees rolled up their sleeves on Friday, April 11, to volunteer on dozens of community projects across parts of Texas during LCRA’s annual day of service, Steps Forward Day.
In Columbus, LCRA employees worked to spruce up parts of Midtown Park. The volunteers pressure washed exercise station signs and metal park benches; upgraded the surfaces of the horseshoe pits and volleyball court; and repaired wooden park benches and a cable safety barrier around the park. Several employees with the City of Columbus also helped with the project.
Other Steps Forward Day projects ranged from planting a pollinator garden at Stagecoach Park in Buda to painting the exterior of the police annex building in Shiner to adding mulch to the playground area at Hempstead City Park in Hempstead.
