Coppell Rotary, Lions Club join forces for Coppell's Heritage Park
The Rotary Club of Coppell and the Coppell Lions Club joined forces for the improvement of Heritage Park in Coppell. The flower beds at the park had not been touched for several years and were “overgrown and out of control.” The Coppell Rotary Club and Lions Club worked together, along with scout troops, Lions Club Leos and Rotary Interact Club members to clean, weed, plant Hollyhock seeds and mulch all the flower beds in the park. Heritage Park of Coppell is open for tours of old Coppell homes and allows visitors to shop in the vintage Minyards Grocery Store at 700 S Coppell Road, Wednesday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
