Staunton Lions Club honored with plaque at Gypsy Hill Park’s duck pond

Lions Club Treasurer Woody Sanders, Director of Parks & Recreation Chris Tuttle and Lions Club President Scott McMurrain pose at the Duck Pond at Gypsy Hill Park with the plaque honoring the club.

The Staunton Lions Club funded repairs and renovation of the Duck Pond at Gypsy Hill Park with a $36,000 grant.

For the club’s generosity and community support, it was honored by the City of Staunton Parks & Recreation department with a plaque placed at Gypsy Hill Park.

Storms and flooding of Lewis Creek in July 2020 caused significant damage to the duck pond’s structure, including walls and walkways, according to a press release. Repairs and renovation were completed in August 2022.

The club’s history with the Duck Pond at Gypsy Hill Park began nearly 60 years ago with a major gift to complete the pond.
