City of Alpine Ward 4 Park and Brewster County Veterans Memorial
The enclosed blueprint represents the proposal for the City of Alpine park for Ward 4, designed by Alpine architect Tom Greenwood. This park will also include the Brewster County Veterans Memorial.
The park will occupy the block bordered by East Ave. H; South Hancock St.; East Gallego Ave., and South Chastain St.
Ward 4 city council member Manuel Payne has distributed the blueprint and equipment list to neighbors of the proposed park and has received positive comments from them.
Two local committees are coordinating efforts to create the proposed park and memorial:
A subcommittee of the Alpine Parks and Recreation Board, the Ward 4 Park Planning Community Committee, meets monthly to coordinate municipal and county efforts to bring the park into being.
The contact person for this committee is: Tom Greenwood - 432/837-9419.
The Brewster County Veteran's Memorial Committee was formed as a joint subcommittee of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post in Alpine, Texas and the American Legion Post in Alpine, Texas. The committee's mandate from these two non-profit corporate entities is to create a Veteran's Memorial Park to honor Brewster County Veterans. The committee meets monthly and is active in creating awareness of the proposed Veterans Memorial and raising funds for it.
The contact person for this committee is: Amelia Rodriguez 432/837-1895.
Residents of Alpine and Brewster County are encouraged to participate in the work of these two committees to help create the new Ward 4 City Park and Brewster County's Veterans Memorial.
