Rotary and parks board propose Peace Pole installation at municipal park
Summary
The Rotary Club of Cedar Creek Lake and the parks board asked council permission to install a Peace Pole at the municipal park and to hold a later unveiling; councilmembers voiced support and asked staff to coordinate wording and event details.
The parks board and the Rotary Club of Cedar Creek Lake presented a proposal to install a four-sided 'Peace Pole' in the municipal park, with standard messaging such as "Let peace prevail on earth" in English and Spanish.
Laura Young, parks board president, introduced the project and said the club will install the pole and later host a community unveiling. Rotary volunteer Skip Fritz described the project as a global program with roughly 200,000 peace poles world‑wide and said local Rotary intends to install poles around the lake community, including Gun Barrel City.
Council expressed support for the park enhancement and thanked Rotary and the parks board for sponsoring the project. Staff said final wording and the event timeline would be coordinated with council and the parks board.
