Junction City Eagle Scout cleans community skate park
JUNCTION CITY (KSNT) - A high school freshman is making his mark on the Junction City Community one paint stroke at a time.
Eagle Scout Dylan Brookshire is renovating the Bramlage Skate Park with the assistance of the Flint Hills Leadership Group. So far, the group has invested $1,500 into the project. The next step for the project is to find a local artist to paint family-friendly artwork on the park.
"He [Brookshire] is a perfectionist so if you are working with him, you can already establish greatness," Breeana Toles with the Flint Hills Leadership Group said. "He makes sure the blue Panthers tape is out so we are not expanding over the lines."
Brookshire and others have spent the last three Sundays scrubbing, cleaning painting and repairing the skate park.
"It's important because we want it to be safe for everyone to use and with a better-looking skate park it will be a better place to come together as a community," Brookshire said.
