The City of Camden will hold a park dedication ceremony at 5 p.m. on Thursday, June 20, to honor Sheila L. Roberts, the President of the Cooper Lanning Civic Association.
The park located at 6th & Washington Streets in Camden will be renamed the Sheila L. Roberts Park in recognition of Mrs. Roberts’ service to the City of Camden and the Cooper Lanning Neighborhood. City Council adopted the ordinance naming the park after Mrs. Roberts on March 12, 2013.
