Notable Quotes (3)
The recreation center is going to be closed this coming Thursday in observance of Juneteenth.
It's a nice little path inside there but it is like you can find it from a large main trail.
I would think that at some time if we want to relieve some of the pressure from parking downtown that conceivably you could create some more spots and put some picnic tables in the Goodman Park area.
