One of the earliest programs initiated by the Reveille Rotary Club was the installation of park benches. We felt that an effective way to enrich the lives of seniors in our community was to help them get outside, get exercise and socialize with others. We recognized that Casper had many walks and paths, but few benches. A senior who may not be a strong walker needs a place to rest when going for a walk. We wanted to help provide that.
Our first Reveille benches were installed in 2013. To date, we have installed 34 benches. Reveille Rotary purchases and assembles the benches, then our members select the locations, do the dirt work and set the concrete forms. We partner with the City of Casper and they pour the concrete, haul the benches ot the site and bolt them down. We put in oversized pads so that there is room for a stroller or wheelchair in front of the bench.
