Our Fallen Hero

As you may know, Let Them Be Kids asked that we name the park after a local fallen hero. After a brief discussion we came to a quick, unanimous decision and we are very excited to announce the name of the new playground as the James Berg Memorial Park. James was a dedicated volunteer who put a great deal of time and effort into the youth of our community. Not only was he an incredible football coach, he was an adored employee, a respected Chamber of Commerce member, and an overall admired resident. When we told the Berg family that the park would be named after James his mother said, "He loved Sylvan Lake. Now it will be his home forever."

Please join us on September 26, 2009 as we remember our fallen hero by building the James Berg Memorial Park. To volunteer, please click the Join the Effort button on the right hand side of this page.
