Community's Priorities and Strategies Shared in Public Session

The Greenhills Recreation Commission held a public session on Wednesday, October 26th, seeking public input for one final time in 2011 before it sets priorities for the 2012 year. In its role as an advisory body to council, the Recreation Commission, has worked over the past 6-7 months to garner feedback from the community on the programs, facilities, and opportunities for development of the Greenhills Recreation program.   Shared last night was a preliminary planning document that included over 70 different suggestions, recommendations and priorities.  Wednesday's meeting proved equally beneficial, with the addition of over a dozen and a half new suggestions which will be incorporated into the Commission's planning documentation.

The Commission will use this information to finalize its 2012 recommendations during the final two sessions of the 2011 calendar.

•  Alternatively residents can submit their proposals/ideas/thoughts in writing to the commission. 

Palma Park Playground in Full Use!

Below is a snapshot of the Palma Park playground from this past Saturday, October 15th.  What a fantastic addition to the Palma Park area!  This represents the best of what Greenhills is:  A focused effort combining volunteer support with a commitment to spend precious recreation levy dollars for a good cause.

Thanks go to Eagle Scout Sam Slaughterbeck, Councilman Greg Hermes, Mike Caster and the folks from the Village, and a host of other dedicated volunteers who worked together to make this a reality.
