“I’m so excited to return to my Parks & Recreation roots! It’s amazing all that is going on in the Logansport Parks and I’m very happy to be a part of these exciting projects. I’m especially looking forward to Christmas in the Park, and the construction of a new restroom at Spencer Park. My time in West Lafayette has given me new perspective and new ideas that I hope to incorporate here in Logansport. I’ve missed my friends, colleagues, and staff members and am happy to re-establish those relationships.
During Fawley’s tenure in Logansport, many projects were completed: new restrooms at Fairview Park; new playgrounds at Spencer Park, Patriot Park, Benjamin Long Center, Dykeman Park, and Bishop Park; the annual Light Up Logansport Parade and Park Display; the expansion of the Logansport trail system; the Cole Bridge; and Huston Park.
