Mary Ann Farrell and her husband, Gary Blankenship pleaded with the Clemmons Village Council to accept a tract of land and make it a park to honor her late parents, Joe and Margaret Farrell.

Mary Ann Farrell grew up in Clemmons in the 1950s.

The council had reservations about making the land into a park because of funding, a lack of parking spaces, and the number of people that might use a “passive park.”

Clemmons Mayor Nat Swanson told Farrell and her husband to wait until after the meeting was over to make a different proposal to Town Manager Al Dillon.
