The City of Galena names a city park after two of its own. City leaders voted at Monday’s council meeting (3/17) to name the park, “The Schwartz Park” after longtime residents Charles “Corky” and Mary Schwartz. The couple lived on a hill just beside the park and volunteered their time to oversee it — including picking up trash and keeping up the park’s well-being. Along with two pavilions already donated and named after the couple, the park is home to the city pool, a new splash pad, basketball and volleyball courts, a playground, and walking track.
