Nathaniel Griffin, Mayor, City of Wellston:
We have so much pride and dedication and commitment to our community, to ourselves and to each other. If kids don't have some way to release their energy in a positive way and have a positive place to go with positive people around them, they're eventually going to go the negative route. That's what I want to get this community to be where these kids - everywhere they go, every day, they're around positive influences so that way they become a positive product of our community. A park seems like a little thing but when you see kids running and exerting that positive energy - these things give us a great outlet to grow into ourselves and grow into society. [this project] is definitely a life-changing experience and definitely will change the culture of our community.
