The Colfax Park and Recreation Auxiliary Board, Inc. is a recipient of a 2024 Jasper Community Foundation Grant. The board received $4,500 which will be used to help offset the costs for 40 new picnic tables for Quarry Springs Park to be placed in the new RV campground area.

Volunteers at Quarry Springs Park are in the process of finishing off the RV stalls and adding more amenities including planting grass and trees, assembling and placing the picnic tables from this grant, and building a bathroom/shower house in the fall. It is expected Mid-American Energy will inspect the electrical components that have been connected and install meters within the next week. Camping reservations can be made online through the Quarry Springs Park website at https://www.quarryspringspark.com. Contact the board with any questions at quarryspringspark@gmail.com or call 515-478-6272.
