A Lorain County park was rededicated on Sunday afternoon with the help of several organizations that took part in its revitalization.

"This is a proud day for the city of Lorain," said Commander of Lorain Amvets Post 47 Mike Kachure.

Volunteers worked to raise about $150,000 for Pulaski Park.

Organizers say the mission and vision for the park's revitalization started four years ago.

"This quickly morphed into a veterans project, city project, neighborhood and faith-based project," Kachure said.

The original park was dedicated in 1938. At the time, the park was named for Casimir Pulaski, a Revolutionary War hero known for helping George Washington's troops in key battles.
