Kuhnen family donates additional land for recreational enjoyment in Lacombe County
LACOMBE COUNTY- The County is honoured to accept a second generous donation of land from local residents, Frank and Rosalie Kuhnen.
Located on the east side of Lacombe County, the 65 acres of land runs along the north side of the Red Deer River and will remain in a natural state for the public to use for recreational purposes.
“We are excited to have a peaceful retreat in the east part of Lacombe County, where the public can enjoy the tranquility of nature,” said Reeve Paula Law. “The gift of this land from the Kuhnen Family exemplifies the importance community residents place on managing green space for the betterment of current and future generations.”
In 2015, the Kuhnen’s donated 140 acres of land north of Blackfalds on Lacombe Lake – aptly named Kuhnen Park – which was also intended for recreational use by the public.
