Mason District Park provides residents and visitors with entertainment, exercise opportunities and a chance to watch nature . The large number of visitors to the park means a large amount of trash is being left behind. Fortunately, some visitors are willing to help clean up the area. Also this week, the library continued to offer programs to educate the young people in our area.
