This year held challenges we’ve never seen before and the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) forced us to make some tough decisions. We had to cancel tennis lessons, close some of our facilities and limit the usage of others, and stay at least 6 feet from one another!
Even with these obstacles to overcome, our staff worked hard to make 2020 another successful year! We were able to revamp several of our donation programs, welcome back our awesome seasonal staff, create new procedures and, alongside our regular maintenance, accomplish several other large scale projects! Some of the projects we are most proud of are:
• Construction of Schultz Farm Road providing safer access to the Sports Complex.
• Improvements to the archery range at Lions Park.
• Construction of a dumpster enclosure at Lions Park.
• Dedication of the Chip Garrow Memorial Trail.
• Adoption of a Snow Removal Policy for Trails and Sidewalks.
• Drive in Movie Night
• Online Recreation programs
• Further development of the southeast quadrant of Lions Park
• Relocation of park operations to the old fire station
• Adoption of the 2020-2024 Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan
• Replaced worn bricks at the Heritage Fountain
• Installation of a donated bat house at Lions Park
• Removal of dead trees in the woods at Lions and Pebble Ridge Park
We are excited to see where the New Year brings us and have a lot planned for 2021, so stay tuned!
