When Travis Behrendsen recently saw a Facebook post concerning the condition of Liberty Park, he did something most people don’t.He stopped scrolling and got involved.“There was a guy who posted on my Facebook feed. He was really concerned about the state of the park, and one of the things he asked for was for the community to come together and do something about it,” Behrendsen said. “So, I thought to myself, I might be able to help with this.”The longtime Mansfield resident reached out to the city’s parks and recreation department and set up a fundraiser for the park that means so much to him.He remembers learning to swim at the Liberty Park pool as a child and later marrying his wife, Cheyanne, under a tree near the pavilion.“My goal with the park is to bring it back to life,” Behrendsen said.As he walked around the park recently with his wife and 1-year-old daughter, he spotted boarded up windows and minor vandalism that hasn’t yet been cleaned.He also noted the recent efforts of Mansfield Murals and was impressed with the volunteers’ impact on the park, but he would like to put a more permanent end to the graffiti and destruction.Part of Behrendsen’s plan is to install a security system to deter vandals from returning.He hopes to raise $100,000, which will be used for the security system, clean up of the pool house and pavilion.In researching the park, he found out that the original plans for Liberty Park included an amphitheater, a concept he’d like to see brought to fruition.“It would certainly bring a lot more events, and I think it’d be of interest,” Behrendsen said.He intends to give the fundraiser several months to take off.He anticipates the repairs could take place in the off season and completed before the pool reopens next summer.To donate to Liberty Park’s revitalization, visit https://www.gofundme.com/save-liberty-park.
