County Partnering with Keep Palm Beach County Beautiful, Inc. and Lowe's for Tree Planting at Carlin Park

Body

​The Palm Beach County Parks and Recreation Department, in partnership with Keep Palm Beach County Beautiful, Inc., has received a $20,000 grant to fund a shade and beautification project at Carlin Park in Jupiter. The grant was made possible through a gift from Lowe's and will pay for the purchase and planting of Live Oak, Sea Grape, and Green and Silver Buttonwood trees along the popular exercise trail.

"Facilitating health and wellness opportunities is a core service of the Parks and Recreation Department," said Eric Call, Director of the Palm Beach County Parks and Recreation Department. “I’m very appreciative of Keep Palm Beach County Beautiful and Lowe's for the grant funding that will enable the exercise trail, already popular during the cooler morning and evening hours, to be utilized all day long in the comfort of the shade."

Creating opportunities for healthy, happy living, the Palm Beach County Parks and Recreation Department operates more than 80 regional, district, community, beach, and neighborhood parks, spanning several thousand acres.
