East Lancaster Neighborhood Association received funding from the Salem Parks Foundation for a new shelter roof in 2011. In 2012, the asphalt paths within the park received a makeover thanks to a $7,500 anonymous donation made to the Parks Foundation for improvements at this park.

In 2013, a $10,000 anonymous donation was made to improve the tot playground. Both of these donations were matched with a grant from the Salem Park Improvement Fund.

ELNA is sponsoring a raffle and handing out goody bags to the first 50 people who attend the festivities. ELNA Co-Chairs Susann Kaltwasser and Sue Fowler will be there along with Mayor Anna Peterson and Councilor Bruce Rogers to help celebrate.

The event includes a ribbon-cutting and refreshments.
