Wallace Marine Park and Mongold Boat Launch PFD Loaner Stations
The Willamette Safekids Coalition received assistance from the Marine Board to build two life jacket loaner stations at Wallace Marine Park in Salem, and Mongold Boat Launch on Detroit Lake. The Wallace Marine station was dedicated on June 24, 2008. The Boy Scouts of America partnered with Safekids and the Salem Hospital and constructed the kiosks. The Marine Board designed the sign and provided the life jackets as part of the project.
