Dedication Held For New Addition To Town Park

August 5, 2022 2:38 am

Canonsburg Town Park has added new fitness equipment to an already long list of activities to do in the area with the help of brothers and Canon-McMillan graduates Bill and Bob Schmidt. Bill, who was a bronze medalist javelin thrower in the 1972 Olympics for Team USA, was contacted by the Canonsburg Borough and Friends of the Park to help contribute a fitness cluster near the Yoney Pavilion. He along with his twin brother Bob were happy to help their hometown with the donation. Both of the brothers live out of state now, but visit the area frequently to see friends and family. After the dedication, members of the Canon-McMillan Track and Field Team took part in breaking in the new equipment. This is not the first donation from the Schmidt Family to Town Park, as Bill was a donor for the recently constructed pickle ball courts near the new fitness cluster.
