Folks who come to Little River Regional Park on the weekends are sure to have met Mr. Larry Adams. If you haven’t met him, then we’re sure you have seen him around assisting visitors with questions, shelter reservations and working around the park fixing and maintaining equipment and staffing the park office.
Larry is currently enjoying his retirement while working part time here and just for fun he enjoys pulling his well pump out of his well to check the wiring. Being a direct neighbor to the park, Larry started working for the park (Feb. 05) shortly after the park opened in December of 2004, but his affiliation with the park goes back long before his hiring.
Larry was one of the earliest opponents to a proposed landfill that was considered for this land. Those of us traveling up and down Guess Road in 1999/2000 might remember the signs in his yard calling for a halt to the landfill. The park has come a long way since those days and Larry has become a huge asset to the park. So the next time you’re here at the park over the weekend be sure to look for Mr. Larry and ask him lots of questions.
