MEDINA – Medina Lions completed their cleanup of Lions Park on Saturday, with help from Boy Scout Troop 28 and Girl Scout Troop 82096.

The Lions thanked Tim Winters and the village of Medina, who brought mulch.

The Lions have been taking care of Lions Park for decades, said Lion Dean Bellack. He said they received a thank-you call from Mayor Deb Padoleski.

The cleanup was originally scheduled two weeks ago on April 25, but had to be postponed due to heavy rain.
