In 2019 we started our “Postcards for the Park” program. Turns out it’s actually kind of fun and creative — and good advocacy for the park at the same time. You can use a postcard from your travels (or from Bloomsbury Books, one of our local business sponsors)… or you can make your own, like we did. Then have fun decorating it! Be sure to mention something that you enjoy doing at Lincoln School Park and send it to members of the Ashland School Board, the Superintendent, members of the Ashland Parks Commission, the Director of the Parks Department, City Councilors, and even the Mayor of Ashland! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0cc08db0c4d55ba58e4780/1594683395702-6QAC8QJ6U32KG5R9DWVR/Parks+Commission+%232+%282018%29.JPG Home - Please Talk to Your Local Representatives COVID-19 hasn’t taken away our ability to write a letter! It’s really helpful if people in our community email our local leaders about this issue. They need to hear from YOU! Please encourage the Ashland School Board (and School District) to partner with the Ashland Parks Commission on this. You can go to their respective websites (Ashland School District, Ashland Parks Department, and Ashland City Council) to find contact info for all of our local leaders. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0cc08db0c4d55ba58e4780/1594683462109-57XFQ8NBXQBHWX2TVDSF/Betsy+DeGress+and+Fred+Alig+at+Lincoln+Clean-up+Day+10.5.19.JPG Home - Community Clean-up Day Update! We’ve held 5 Community Clean-up Days at Lincoln School Park (going all the way back to 2005 — Yay, Team!) and we’ve found that they’re actually kind of fun to do when it comes right down to it. Unfortunately, Covid-19 has prevented us from holding this event for the past few years. Ditto for 2022. But… that doesn’t need to stop folks from taking a bag (and gloves!) to the park and picking up trash as individual citizens who care!

Parks are vital to a community’s health. They are special places where people of all ages can get out and be active. Walking, running, and exercising…basketball, skateboarding, and learning to ride a bike for the first time. These are just some of the things that folks who use Lincoln School Park enjoy doing on a daily basis. How do I know? They have told me so! Parks are great for appreciating nature, getting fresh air, getting away from a screen, and giving our spirits a boost during challenging times. I will never forget the time in my own life when my mother was in an assisted-living facility post-surgery. I have never before experienced such high levels of stress, anxiety, and worry. At one point, I decided to go for a walk. As I walked around the neighborhood I rounded a corner and there was the most incredible, healing, transformative sight. A park! The impact that the evergreen trees and the lush, green grass had was instantly and powerfully healing. It was a ray of light in a dark time. Parks hold power for us humans. The power to heal. The power to restore. The power to comfort. It was in that moment that I knew that all of the years that we’d put into park preservation was more than worth the time and effort. It was an affirmation of this path that we’ve found ourselves on. It was evidence of the healing power of a simple, yet beautiful, park — the power of nature — in our day-to-day lives. — Melissa Mitchell-Hooge Director https://lincolnparkashland.org/history daily 0.75 2021-09-05 https://lincolnparkashland.org/our-task-force-report daily 0.75 2020-07-14
