Program Coordinator: Amelia has been doing a great job this summer with heavy involvement in youth soccer and baseball. Additionally, she was an integral part of Night to Unite planning and helped to make the planning process smooth! As she wraps up her summer here, we wish her the best back at school.

Heritage Park Construction: Landscaping, bench installation, and hydroseeding have been taking place at the park. The building is close to completion, with the linear wood ceiling, cameras/IT work, and final touches being worked on. Final parking lot paving is anticipated for sometime mid-to-late September. 

Heritage Park Playground: The playground had a ribbon cutting, allowing families to experience the new agricultural themed playground. Currently, while construction is finishing up on site, the public is asked to remain out of the playground area before 5:30 pm on weekdays to allow the work to finish without intrusion. During the weekend, families are invited to utilize the playground anytime within park hours. 

Night to Unite: Estimated at 1,200 people in attendance at Public Works for the City Party and 20 registered neighborhood parties, Night to Unite took place on Tuesday, August 4. The event was well attended, with special thanks to Program Coordinator Zdechlik, Community Service Officer Reisner, and Officer Hoffman for their hard work in planning and coordinating the event. 

Bark in the Park: Taking place on Friday, September 11 from 3:00 pm - 7:00 pm, Bark in the Park will be hosted at Heritage Park. Registration for vendors to participate is currently open and can be found here: https://app.seemylegacy.com/community/1278/campaign/8198/overview
