Neighbors & Friends!!!
The brand-spankin' new City Park Tennis Courts will open to the public via a grand re-opening ceremony this Saturday, March 21 at 10:00 a.m. at the courts on West Miller Street in City Park. Any and all can attend and the City will be offering light refreshments!
The City Park Tennis Courts were closed down for reconstruction last summer and work began in August 2008. See Old North Salisbury's post "Check Out Changes at City Park" dated August 21, 2008. The work was expected to be complete in about 3 months but if you visit the City's Parks and Recreation homepage (www.salisburync.gov/pkrec ) there is a slide show there about the renovation that lets you see the magnitude of the work.
If you have never been to the City's Parks and Recreation website - it is worthwhile to check out. In addition to the two beautiful parks we have near the North Main St. area, Hurley and City Parks, there are several others throughout the City. Some have additional amenities that we may not have here. If you go to the www.salisburync.gov/pkrec website, you will also find a survey there that you can do in minutes online. It asks about future parks and amenities such as water features, athletic facilities, dog parks and loads of other fun stuff. This is really your opportunity to have a voice so you are encouraged to link-in and participate.
As you may know, part of the North Main Small Area Improvement Plan included several pocket parks in this neighborhood! Wouldn't it be grand to see some of our vacant lots turned into small parks, both scenic and useful to the community? And Hey! If you have NOT seen a copy of the North Main Small Area Improvement Plan, contact Janet Gapen/City Planner/City of Salisbury (704-638-5230 or jgape@salisburync.gov) to get a copy. It is very interesting and shows all the hard work our neighbors put forth to come up with this plan!
Thanks All!
