Wednesday evening, Allison Park
in Mayfair Addition in Lincoln was abuzz with activity as city
Alderwoman Marty Neitzel and Alderman Jeff Hoinacki hosted a
community party for everyone in the neighborhood on behalf of the
city.
Allison Park is named after LeRoy Allison, who designed the Mayfair
Addition. The park is a lovely green space in the community, with a
playground, a large lot for playing catch and some very nice trees.
Part of the activities Wednesday were designed to make the park all
the lovelier as the From the Ground Up group gathered to plant 400
red tulips donated by Hoinacki and Neitzel.
The Lincoln D.A.R.E. program was on hand, with police Chief Ken Greenslate serving as the grill master
and cooking up free hot dogs for
everyone. The hot dog supper also included chips and soda.
Others on hand included city aldermen, the Lincoln Fire Department
and the Lincoln Police Department.
