Madrid, Iowa – Ledges State Park is receiving a $1,000 donation from Ramsey Subaru, of Urbandale, that will be presented during a ceremony on Wed., April 24 at 11 a.m.
Staff from the Iowa Department of Natural Resources State Parks Bureau, representatives from Ramsey Subaru and members of the Ledges State Park friends group will meet at the eastern park entrance for the check presentation.
The donation was a result of a “Pick-a-Park” promotion sponsored by Ramsey Subaru, where Iowans could choose their favorite central Iowa state park to receive a $1,000 donation for park improvements.
According to Andy Bartlett, manager of Ledges State Park, the $1,000 will be used to help build a new playground for the state park.
“The friends group has worked for years to raise money for the playground, and this donation will help immensely in reaching our goal,” he said.
Media are invited to attend the ceremony. The eastern park entrance is located just west of the park residence at 1519 250th Street, Madrid.
