UPDATES
ON CANDLERIDGE PARK PROJECTS
Candleridge
Park News (Updated Feb 1, 2011)
The main accomplishment
in the park this winter has been the repair
and reinstallation of the aerator fountain in
French Lake. It had been out for repairs
since late last spring. Repair was a
cooperative effort between the CHA and the
Parks Dept.
The next project we are
expecting from the Parks Dept this winter is
the cutting and removal of dead trees and
major limbs in the creek beds. Sometime this
year we expect to have the brush cut and
removed from the creek beds as part of their
3-year schedule.
Our normal visiting
winter birds (migratory ducks and sea gulls)
are present at French Lake. Thanks to all who
provide bread and seed as supplemental food
to these and our resident ducks and geese.
Thanks to all who keep
the dog poop bag dispensers around the park
filled. Any kind of small plastic bags are
acceptable.
Reminder about the
annual Cowtown Cleanup on Saturday, April 2,
9-12 AM. All are invited to participate. Meet
at the footbridge at French Lake at 9 AM.
Gloves, trash bags, and instructions will be
provided then. If you plan to participate,
let Mike Nipper (mjnipper@aol.com) know by
the preceding Wednesday so that he can obtain
sufficient gloves and bags. We will focus on
removal of human trash in the two creek beds
emptying into the lake. If you would like to
work in other areas of the park, let us know
as we meet. If you would like a T-shirt, you
will need to fill out the consent form on
line by March 17 at http://www.fortworthgov.org/applications/cowtowncleanup/
. Include this information -- Group:
Candleridge Homeowner’s Assn, Leader:

T-shirts are on first order basis and will be
delivered at the meeting.
Painting projects will
resume this spring (early April) when the
weather is warmer. Paint and instructions
will be provided. You can select locations
and work to your own schedule. Contact Mike
Nipper (mjnipper@aol.com,
