In addition to keeping the Centreville Park in fine shape through regular cleanup and maintenance days, Centreville’s park association volunteers have also signed on
for “course work” at Acadia . That course work is nearing completion with a report due in the weeks immediately ahead.
Alongside students enrolled in Parks
and Open Space Resource Management and Community Development, park volunteers have hosted groups where community members have helped determine development options for the Percy A. Lydiard Park. I have attended some of these. The students have brought skill and enthusiasm to their task. Lots of valuable input has been gathered. I anticipate a great report.
The end result will give us all a great deal of direction and focus. With a well-researched plan in hand the community of Centreville can step forward. Soon, directors will be turning their attention to accessing the resources required for full development of the park’s
potential. They are inviting everyone's help.
Meanwhile, they already have in hand "50 cent" dollars towards installing a new swing set and replacing the roof and siding on the park building. Keep an eye out during your walks in the park. Changes will materialize in the weeks immediately ahead.
I want to send a well-deserved cheer out to all the park directors, volunteers, and those who attended the park development group discussions. Your work is very much appreciated!
