The park's annual budget is primarily allocated to essential maintenance, staff salaries, and critical infrastructure projects. This leaves little to no funding available for enhancement projects such as the installation of new benches, which, although important for the visitor experience, are often deprioritized in favor of more urgent needs. This grant will allow us to address the community's needs more effectively and enhance the overall visitor experience in the park."
