AUBURN â Neighboring homeowners who want to buy a piece of Don Lash Park have been mowing and maintaining that section for some 25 years, one of those residents said Tuesday.
âThis land has truly been maintainedâ by the neighbors, Laura Smart told the Auburn Parks and Recreation Board. âLet us take that land over, and we will be more than happy to continue to maintain it. ⦠We are the ones taking care of it.â
Four of her neighbors who live on Portage Pass in northeast Auburn joined Smart at the park boardâs meeting in Rieke Park Lodge.
âOne of the problems we have is ⦠woodchucks and all kinds of things in our backyard when the grass would get a foot deep,â said Jerry Akey. Another neighbor said snakes can be a problem.
