Quote on Stone
In Honor of those who served
In Tribute to those who perished
In Gratitude to those now serving

A thank you poster to KCCI, Casey's General Store, Dr. Pepper, and Prairie Meadows was available for people to sign. This sign will be framed and hung in the Shelter House. Signs acknowledging the other large contributors to this project will be hung in the shelter as well.

The City purchased two swinging bench seats for installation at the Gordon Prange City Park. One swinging bench sits next to the community building and the other is located further down by the volleyball court.

Pomeroy has several parks available for residents to enjoy the great outdoors. Pictured to the left is one of those parks, Veterans Memorial Park located on the corner of First Street and Ontario Street, next to the Community Building.

This park is dedicated to local veterans that have served our country. Paved stones have been engraved in memory of such men and women.

Mall Park

Located just south of the Pomeroy Mini-Mall. This empty lot was transformed into an attractive colorful park.

This park was donated back to the City in 2008. The new lift station for the Lagoon was recently built in October 2008. This will also be the site of the new Maintenance shed for the Public Works Department.

Located south of the Community Building, this park has an antique cast iron watering trough that had been used for horses back in the day. Towering over this park is the newly painted water tower. View pictures of the water tower getting a fresh coat of paint.
