Veteran’s Park, located on Oregon Street between the city’s baseball/soccer fields was in the process of several upgrades.

The city was replacing the children’s playground equipment.  The Rotary Club  installed two picnic table gazebos to provide shade from summer sun.  Several local businesses helped with this work.  Grant Smith Aggregates provided the base and concrete for the gazebo pads.  Dennis Rechel and Sons Construction helped with pouring and finishing the concrete and  Marathon Corporation provided the steel framework and construction of the gazebos.  Member Kurt Werner of Green Valley Rentals provided the necessary equipment for erecting the first gazebo and member Jim Perry provided the equipment for erecting the second one.  Considerable effort in digging out for the pads, preparing for the concrete, pouring the concrete and erecting the gazebos was provided by the Rotary Club members, City of Yerington employees and Lyon County trustees.  The city installed additional lighting in the park and the Rotary Club provided a plaque dedicating the park to the men and women who have served in the U.S. armed services.  

This park has been part of the Yerington park system for many years and these upgrades improved its usability and its role as a reminder of those who have served our country making it stronger and safer.
