Kleiner Park opening ~ Meridian, Idaho

This beautiful Meridian park opened to the public for the first time on June 9th. It is unlike any other park where there are no ball fields, but a complete place of peace and serenity. There are 3 miles of walkways, ponds, rolling hills and 1300 trees planted throughout. It has been built to accommodate all ages from the playground to the Senior Center and the Veteran memorial for those who have served our country from the city of Meridian. We are so blessed to have this donated by Julius's son,Gene Kleiner in the amount of $25 milion dollars. Thank you, GENE!! What a generous gift!

These guys were awesome and it was interesting learning all

the rules of the game, especially the part when you have to be sure

to "pass the crayon" !  I kept hearing him say it and it sounded like

he was saying, "Pass the Crown"!  LOL!  I'm not ready to do that quite yet

till my time is up in October.  :D
