Ledbetter Park Upgrade Highlights Community Effort

Ledbetter Park in Cameron was upgraded through a joint project by the Noon Lions Club and the city, funded by donations and in-kind labor from local groups and individuals. The dam, lake, and banks were rebuilt and stocked with fish, with extensive work by the Community Development Agency, Green Thumb labor, and area volunteers. The project expanded facilities including tennis courts, basketball rims, playgrounds, restrooms, and memorial features, all aimed at boosting city recreation and serving residents of all ages.
