SCENIC PARK RESTORATION

FLOODWATERS FROM THE MISSOURI RIVER TOOK A HEAVY TOLL ON TREES AND PARKS ALONG THE RIVERFRONT THIS PAST SUMMER.

SCENIC PARK IN SOUTH SIOUX CITY WAS HARD HIT, LOSING NEARLY 600 TREES.

SOUTH SIOUX PARKS DIRECTOR GENE MAFFIT SAYS THOSE TREES WILL BE REPLANTED ONE AT A TIME, STARTING WITH A DONATION FROM ALPHA DELTA KAPPA SORORITY:

THE ATHLETIC FIELDS WERE ALSO DAMAGED AT THE PARK, AND THE RIVER LEFT OVER 200,000 CUBIC YARDS OF SAND BEHIND.

MAFFIT SAYS HE'S RECEIVED PERMISSION TO PUT THE SAND UNDER THE TOPSOIL OF THE SOCCER FIELDS:

MAFFIT SAYS ANYONE INTERESTED IN DONATING MORE TREES OR HELPING RESTORE SCENIC PARK SHOULD CONTACT CITY HALL IN SOUTH SIOUX CITY.
