Breaking: Gorgas Park to soon have own endowment fund

Word has reached The Review office that The Friends of Gorgas Park received at least $10,000 for an endowment for the park. It is a significant number for the Gorgas Park, which is just as good as any square downtown.

"All the good parks have endowments," said John Boyce, president of the Friends of Gorgas Park.

The Review is excited over this since Gorgas Park is definitely a gem of Roxborough, with the open space to run around in and its proximity to Westerman field. Great place for a summer lunch break. Helps us because we are practically next door. Outdoor concerts are also pretty good and free as well. Who can resist Zydeco-A-Go-Go?

An endowment will also help keep things at the park going long after some of us have gone.

Stay tuned for more on this announcement.
