New Whiteland is home to Proctor Park, which holds more than swings and slides. It is a donated space for the public to come and remember fallen military members and first responders. Currently, they are raising funds to honor fallen trooper Aaron Smith.
NEW WHITELAND — A peaceful space for families to play and gather in New Whiteland holds much more than swings and slides.
"This is a way to keep their names alive, to continue their history, their legacy," Alspach said."It is first and foremost sacred ground." People can purchase bricks and many schools raised money to buy bricks along the path. There are memorial stones here and a trickling fountain. "Aaron lived in Franklin. He was connected to our community here," Alspach said."We hope people will, you know, jump on board and help us make this even better and do it in his honor."
Alspach says this section of the park needs some love, and she hopes to do that in addition to honoring Smith's service as a state trooper.
