Friends of Lucas Park is comprised of Downtown residents working to improve and beautify our
neighborhood park. We had a very successful 2012 with the installation of a new playground as well
as sod and some landscaping. In 2013 we completed the installation of a new sprinkler system, planted
landscaping throughout the park and installed fitness equipment for ages 5 and up! It was a busy 2 years
and now we are getting ready to open up the park for use. For more information please contact us at the email
on the side of the page. Thanks for checking out Friends of Lucas Park!

KaBOOM! Play Academy


Due to the huge success of our playground community build last September, I have been asked to attend the KaBOOM! Play Academy this week in Washington DC to share our story and hopefully help others find ways build playgrounds in their community. A huge thanks to all of our volunteers and supporters who made this project the success it is!

In memory of Dr. Casimir 'Casey' Firlit




This tree was recently planted in Lucas Park in memory of Dr. Casimir ‘Casey’ Firlit, a fellow downtown resident and one who dedicated his life to helping children with complex problems become healthy and happy. This tree, located opposite the new playground, will provide shade from the afternoon sun and will stand as a symbol of his life long commitment to serving and protecting children.
