Several enhancements were added this summer to Bluffton’a Motter Park, which is part of the Johnny Appleseed Metropolitan Park District.

“A gazebo is now in place at the park entrance. It was made possible through a gift from the Jean Henze estate of Gomer,” according to Kevin Haver, park district director. “A second gazebo is now in Kendrick Woods, another park in the district.”

“The gazebo is the focal point of Motter Park,” said Haver, adding that it can be used as a meeting place for persons planning to hike the park’s trails.
