LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR:

Hello Friends,

I am very excited to write to you this Summer as we celebrate the 60th anniversary of our Parks and Recreation Agency. For six decades, our parks, programs, and public spaces have been at the heart of this community—bringing people together, supporting healthy lifestyles, and preserving the natural beauty our community. Since our founding in 1966, generations of residents have gathered in our parks for family picnics, youth sports, community events, and quality family fun time. What began as a vison of community members determined to provide open spaces to the community has grown into a network of 10 parks and numerous recreational opportunities over the past 60 years. Staff, Board Members, and I are hard at work planning a fun celebration event for our 60th anniversary this year! Please keep an eye out for the date of this fun celebration to come.
