MORE ACTIVITIES TO BE OUTDOORS AT A.V. PARK; TOWN'S RECREATION OPTIONS GROW.Byline: Karen Thacker Community Columnist columnist, the writer of an essay appearing regularly in a newspaper or periodical, usually under a constant heading.

More recreational options in a small town are almost always welcome, said Lynnette Ladet, the recreation supervisor who will be leading the afternoon activities. ``I happen to be a resident (of Lake Los Angeles) as well - 13 years,'' she said. ``I've seen the community grow. Just getting the park over there has helped. I couldn't wait to see what kind of program they'd bring. Little did I know it would be me (leading it).'' The community park, owned by a local parks district, not the county, doesn't have a building, but Ladet said they'll gather around picnic tables A picnic table (or sometimes a picnic bench) is a modified table with benches expressly for the purpose of eating a meal outdoors (picnicking). In the past, picnic tables were typically made of wood, but modern tables can be made out of anything from recycled plastic to to play as weather permits.

A summer lunch program is also in the works for low-income children. Pearblossom Park, a county facility, already has a summer lunch program and a Concert in the Park series. Last year the concerts often had more attendees from Lake Los Angeles than from Pearblossom, Ladet said. |
