Sweet Community Park

This is what Sweet Idaho is all about... This little park was a nice "resting place" where you could come and fill up your jug with the famous SWEET WATER that pours from the historic water trough, and picnic or enjoy the shady trees.

Well, Tamara Walker, one of the residents, adopted this park and is working with the community to make it a BIGGER, BETTER and even more beautiful, a place where the kids can play, and where families & friends can gather. Tamara and many have put in hours upon hours of labor.

It's been a major renovation project. I drive by all the time, and something is always being done. Several Saturdays ago was one of many community work days where Justin, Max, noah and I worked for several hours moving branches that had been cut, and in the picture above, Geoff is doing tractor stuff.

No one is paid for their efforts, and SO MANY volunteer much of their time. I love that it's a community volunteer project and not a paid city project. It is a great way to get to know the community and to work together to make Sweet a great place to live.
