As Memorial Day marks the unofficial beginning of summer, our Parks and Recreation Department would like to update the community on a variety of topics..........
- Harmon Park is NOT open yet. There is real construction still occurring daily. The Park is not open for visitors until that is complete. We anticipate this will occur towards the end of June. We are excited to announce a grand opening, soon after, to celebrate the incredible gift our taxpayers have given this community. Until then, let's let the construction crews finish strong.
- We are working on bringing back the position of "Park Supervisors". We would like to place an individual at Rutan and Harmon (when it opens) in the evenings. This individual would be responsible to ensure the activities that are occurring are productive and appropriate. Ideally, he or she, would help organize recreation activities with our children that play in the parks.
- The Playground at the Peak was created for children 12 years old and below AND for individuals with disabilities. It is NOT a hang out spot for teenagers and above. We will enforce this rule this summer. We have lots of areas that are appropriate for our teenagers (The Pool, The Pickleball Courts, The Basketball Courts, and the Shelter House).
- We are looking for volunteers to serve as Park Supervisors. You can commit to as little as a couple hours a week. You will be supported in your efforts to maintain the parks our community deserves. Please call or text Rick Reed at 937-407-1039 to sign up.
- Fridays in the Park begin this week. We will make another post tomorrow to further elaborate, but we will be at Rutan Park at 11 AM this Friday with a group from the Logan County Board of Developmental Disabilities. They will be providing a free craft activity. Skylar and Shelby Mifsud are providing lunch for the kids to follow.
- We want to thank our Cemetery Crew for helping create the backdrop for a profoundly memorable Memorial Day Parade yesterday. Darran Conley, Tucker Newland and Dominic Trimble worked a lot of hours to prepare our cemetery for yesterday.
Thanks to everyone who shows up for our Parks each and every day. Your work is noticed and appreciated. Please reach out with any questions and/or concerns.
