                            Senator O'Brien
                       A RESOLUTION
            Honoring Harding Park on its Centennial.
     WHEREAS, The members of the Senate of the 135th General Assembly    1
of Ohio are pleased to extend special recognition to Harding Park on     2
the memorable occasion of its One Hundredth Anniversary, celebrated      3
September 16, 2023; and                                                  4
     WHEREAS, Harding Park is deserving of high praise, for it has       5
provided area citizens with places to relax and enjoy a variety of       6
activities in a natural and peaceful setting. Established in 1923        7
thanks to a donation from Jacob Kalver, the park has grown to include    8
one hundred twenty acres, five pavilions, a pergola, a bandstand,        9
baseball and soccer fields, and bocce, tennis, pickleball, and           10
volleyball courts, and its One Hundredth Anniversary is a justifiable    11
source of pride and an outstanding reflection on its hard-working        12
staff and volunteers and on the community it serves; and                 13
     WHEREAS, At a time when too few people are concerned with the       14
benefits our land has to offer, all those associated with Harding        15
Park, including its board of commissioners, have applied vision and      16
expertise to the task of protecting and preserving the environment       17
while providing the public with recreational opportunities. We are       18
proud to note that it is through the diligent efforts of conscientious   19
individuals such as these that the State of Ohio continues to grow and   20
prosper and remains a pleasant place in which to live and work; and      21
     WHEREAS, Throughout the past one hundred years, Harding Park has    22
enhanced the quality of life within the surrounding area, and its many   23
unique features have gained it the appreciation of many grateful         24
visitors. We are confident the park will remain an integral part of      25
the community and an iconic landmark for many years to come; therefore   26
be it                                                                    27
S. R. No. 208                                                        Page 2
