The Governor’s West Ocala Neighborhood Revitalization Council gathered Thursday at Legacy Park to honor those who have made significant or unique contributions to the community.
Legacy Park is located on the southwest side of the city and provides walking trails and greenspace within the city, while also reminding residents about leaders who have shaped the community. The appointed Governor’s West Ocala Neighborhood Revitalization Council subcommittee is responsible for submission and selection of nominees.
The honorees for this year included Mary Sue Rich, Carolyn Adams, Wendell Dailey, June Dailey, George Giles, Sheriff M.A. Clouts, Marshall Burrell E. Dawkins and Dr. Pamela Lewin.
The Legacy Walk provides commemorative stones for each nominee so their contributions can be memorialized for generations to come. Visitors to the park can view the tiles along the pathways.
