ASHLAND COUNTY PARK DISTRICT ANNOUNCES 90% OF FUNDS RAISED FOR OUTDOOR EDUCATION CENTER

Ashland County Park District (ACPD) announced today that 90% of the funds needed to help build the Davy McClure Outdoor Education Center in TK Park have been raised.

In 2022, local philanthropists Bob and Jan Archer committed $250,000 to help fund the project and challenged the community to raise the additional $250,000 to help make it a reality. With 80% now raised, ACPD is well on the way to reaching that goal, but is still seeking donors.

Tax-deductible gifts to the Davy McClure Outdoor Education Center will help ACPD continue Davy McClure’s vision of having an education center/pavilion for the residents of Ashland County. Highlights of Davy McClure Outdoor Education Center include:

• Three season shelter/pavilion

• Bio-diverse educational habitats

• Flushable restrooms

• School bus accessible parking lot

100% of your donation to the Davy McClure Outdoor Education Center will go to supporting this project.

Community members interested in donating can call the park office at (419) 289-3524 or bring donations into the park offices at 1301 Park Street in Ashland. Please make checks payable to “Friends of the ACPD.”
