Hi everyone. It has been brought to my attention that people are using the kitchen but not cleaning up. If you use anything in the kitchen, please be sure to clean up after yourself. This includes wiping out microwave, washing AND putting dishes, utensils etc. and cookware away.
Please everyone, let’s do our part in keeping our park clean. Thank you.

Ivan Gene Schrader was born to Ivan and Lorna Schrader on April 5, 1931, in Bandon, Oregon. He graduated from Bandon High School and served as a corporal in the Army during the Korean War from 1951 to 1952. Upon returning to Bandon, Gene married his sweetheart, Helen Wehner, in 1954 in what would become a 70-year love story celebrated on their anniversary in 2024.
Family was everything to Gene. He and Helen raised three children: Mindy Rund (married to Mark), Don Schrader (married to Jeannine), and Ken Schrader (married to Julie). Gene is also survived by his brother-in-law, Bill Wehner and his wife Lora. He was a beloved grandfather to seven grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren, who lovingly called him ‘Papa.’ His extended family, including many nieces and nephews, loved him dearly.
