The Y's Men's Club of Charlotte County has donated $25,000 to the YMCA for the purchase of playground equipment, electronic game systems, kayaks, a skate-board park, and more, which are all located at the YMCA's Dotzler Park on Bayshore Drive in Charlotte Harbor. The YMCA has big plans for the Dotzler property and will soon have Y-staff members on duty full time to implement the various youth programs which now includes a 70-foot climbing tower and tree-top rope traversing system. The check was presented at the Dotzler Park grand-opening celebration held on Saturday, March 25, 2006.
