Rotary gardening at gazebo O'Brien Park Parker ColoradoThe most obvious contribution of the Rotary Club of Parker to the local community is the gazebo in O’Brien Park, which the club donated to the community in 2004.  The gazebo has become an important gathering place for Parker.  Club members continue to contribute to the maintenance of the gazebo and its landscaping.
