Bullard Park is a valuable recreational resource to the Village of Albion. As the area's primary park, it provides recreational opportunities to thousands of residents in the Village of Albion, the Town of Albion and Orleans County each year. For many years, members of this community have been developing plans and raising funds to renovate this park so that it can continue serving the area for years to come. The Rebuild Bullard Committee, in partnership with the Village of Albion and other citizen groups, has developed a comprehensive 3 phase plan to conduct all of the necessary improvements to Bullard Park. In order to make this dream a reality, the Village of Albion is applying to the New York State Office Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP) for a grant under the Environmental Protection Fund to fund the first phase of this project which will include the construction of a splash park for children as well as the addition of new playground equipment. By signing this petition, I indicate that I am a member of the Albion community and I support this project.
