DELPHI — The legacy of two teenage girls who were murdered in 2017 will live on in a memorial park, but the families of Libby and Abby are still trying to raise the funds to make that park a reality.

The park is meant to be enjoyed by those who love both athletics and the arts, things near and dear to the girls before their deaths.

Work on the park began back in March, just over two years after the girls were killed. The facility is coming along nicely, although the construction has been slowed by the recent rains.

Libby and Abby's families are now facing a challenge to raise $50,000 by August 14 so they can qualify for a state grant of the same amount. That $100,000 would then be used to build an amphitheater at the site of the park — one of the bigger attractions.

"We wish that it would do a little bit more than just the amphitheater and pretty spaces," Abby's mother, Anna Williams, said. "But we still have ball fields, we still have restrooms and pavilions, to put up but this will be a big step one of the larger things attractions in our park."

"The sooner we hit that goal, we can all take a deep sigh," Libby's grandfather, Mike Patty, said.

People who donate at certain levels toward the park can get different "gifts" for their donations.
