Parks department lists fall events, tree sales and pickleball court work

Amber Lane (Speaker 20) updated the council on Parks & Recreation activities: movies in the park (Wicked at Art Buckle Acres), a full‑moon hike at Williams Park, a women’s run club relocation, and an expanded tree sale offering 15‑gallon Bur Oak and Tulip Poplar specimens. She said community recreation manager Megan Atwood is on leave and Lane is filling in for duties while staffing adjustments continue.

On pickleball, Lane said resurfacing is planned to start Sept. 21 (weather permitting) and that resurfacing should take a two‑day window; fencing should follow and was estimated to take about a week depending on contractor availability. "We're showing Wicked here at Art Buckle Acres on Friday at 06:30," Lane noted while listing events. Councilors thanked the parks team for a successful farmers market season and volunteers.

Staff will return with firm schedules and contractor confirmations for the pickleball work and follow up on vendor feedback related to future market dates.
