Charlie Jolin to be remembered at June 11 event at Westside Community Park
Jolin, who passed away at the age of 96 in July 2020, gave many years of service to the citizens of Lakeport not only through his work on the Westside Community Park but in helping to establish Library Park, serving as a Boy Scout Leader and serving on numerous city committees and commissions.
In recognition of his dedication to the Westside Community Park’s development, the City Council named the street into the park, “Charlie Jolin Way.”
The nonprofit Westside Community Park Committee has placed a plaque commemorating Jolin’s service in the park.
An official unveiling of the plaque following a brief ceremony will take place on June 11th. The public is invited to attend.
Following the unveiling, the Lakeport Lions Club will host a community picnic and ribbon cutting for the new “Lions Legacy Playground.”
This free event will feature food, bounce houses and prizes for children. The community picnic will run from 10:30. a.m. until 2 p.m.
Westside Community Park is located at 1401 Charlie Jolin Way (formerly Westside Park Road) off of Parallel Drive just past the Matt Mazzei Auto Dealerships in Lakeport.
