In a recent community meeting, local leaders highlighted the significant achievements of volunteer efforts in Lehi, Utah, showcasing a remarkable increase in community engagement and service projects. Over 1,800 volunteers contributed more than 24,100 hours to various initiatives, including crafting 3,000 pinwheels, 1,000 toy cars, and 500 cards for first responders and military personnel. Additionally, 20 quilts were tied, and numerous landscaping projects were completed across several parks.

Key projects included the installation of 780 bags of mulch at Exchange Park, planting 15 new trees at Willow Park, and the removal of invasive puncture vine by the Sky Ridge High School volleyball team. Volunteers also created over 3,500 wildflower seed bombs intended to beautify local trails. The Jordan River area saw extensive cleanup efforts, with volunteers clearing branches and installing safety fall material in neighborhood parks.

The meeting also addressed the recent opening of the Family Park, which has faced challenges since its debut. Concerns were raised about vandalism and the need for staff presence to ensure safety and maintenance. The park, which is significantly larger than other local parks, has been designed with a single entrance to enhance security, particularly for children and individuals with disabilities.

City officials emphasized the importance of community involvement in maintaining the park and discussed plans for future service events, including a spring cleanup and National Youth Service Day in April. The meeting concluded with a call for continued community support and collaboration to foster a spirit of service and improvement in Lehi.
