A big thank you to each and every person that wrote emails to cityleaders@fcgov.com, talked with city leaders, and/or otherwise got the word out and showed your support for it.

As a result of all of the hard work, the whitewater park is officially up for budget consideration for 2015 and 2016! We now need your help with getting it fully approved. Please go this website:
