Adam Dalton in his Park Restoration weekly update said Mollie Joyce Park in is 99 percent complete and work has started in Volcano. The entire Mollie Joyce parking lot has been resurfaced and gravel has been spread. Score boards have arrived and one is on display.
Mollie Joyce is now one of Amador’s premier parks to enjoy for many years to come. Dalton said it was “truly an astonishing transformation and “we are proud of all the work,” which is a “great example of how committed we are as a family in realizing our goals.” He reiterated “just how much our Tribe would love to continue rebuilding all the parks and fields within Amador County,” but “the community must understand that we need your help if we are to see this entire project through.”
The “park restoration plan is not a must-do project. It is not a county, state or government assignment. This project was simply a dream motivated by a family of Native American people,” he said, “business owners who recognize a need and are willing to help. Just think of what we could accomplish together, if we joined hands as a community for the sake of our families and our recreation.”
He saw “no reason why we cannot continue this project for years to come so long as we receive the support and funds we so desperately need.” The Jackson Band of Miwuk Indians will refuse to leave any project unfinished.
Dalton said: “You have my word that once committed, there’s no turning back. We will finish what we’ve started to the best of our abilities. With that said, beginning a new project will depend on the level of support we are receiving.”
So far the good folks who have volunteered and supported the renovation in Pioneer have given the Tribe enough incentive to start another project in Volcano.
Dalton said the tribe was greeted with open arms and overwhelmed by how kind and welcoming the Volcano community has been. “This was an awesome choice for our second project,” he said.
He said they will be in Volcano Monday-Friday from 6:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m., “there’s still a lot to do so if you’re in the area and have the extra time, stop by and give us a hand.” They are improving more than just the park here. He said “in my eyes the entire town is one amazing park.”
Dalton said: “We are making improvements wherever they need them most and should be here for the next few months.”
