Lincoln, ON – (June 28, 2024) – The Town of Lincoln is humbled to accept a generous donation of play equipment in Jack Simpson Park from a local family in memory of their son.
“On behalf of the Town of Lincoln, we are touched by this kind and thoughtful donation and thank the Komar family for considering the needs of families and young community members,” said Town of Lincoln Mayor Sandra Easton. “I am sure that this equipment will be very much appreciated by many.”
"This donation exemplifies the spirit of our community, where acts of kindness and generosity enhance the lives of our residents,” said the Town’s Chief Administrative Officer Michael Kirkopoulos. “We are deeply grateful to the Komar family for their contribution, which will bring joy to many children for years to come."
The new play equipment has been installed at Jack Simpson Park in the community of Beamsville, within the Town of Lincoln, and is designed for ages 15 months to five years old. The equipment consists of a playhouse with rubberized surfacing to enhance accessibility. This surfacing is consistent with playgrounds throughout Lincoln.
Family members shared a few thoughts for the community: “We liked the idea of donating equipment that younger children could enjoy, to complement the other equipment at Jack Simpson Park that is geared toward older kids. We are proud to leave a legacy of our son that will be enjoyed by the community.”
