The Parks and Recreation Committee of Sunbury, Ohio, convened on February 5, 2025, to discuss upcoming events and park usage, focusing on community engagement and resource management.
One of the primary topics was a summer program scheduled from June 2 to June 27 and July 7 to July 18, running daily from 9 AM to 4 PM. This program, which includes activities such as archery and water balloon fights, has received positive feedback from local fire and police departments, with no reported issues in previous years. The shelter house will serve as a meeting point, while most activities will occur off-site. The program aims to benefit local schools, as all proceeds will be donated back to them.
The committee also reviewed the "Light Up Kinslow" disc golf tournament, set for April 19, which is open to the public. This event will feature two rounds of disc golf and has been approved for nighttime use at Kinslow Park. The tournament anticipates around 72 participants, with fees contributing to prizes and event costs. Local authorities have expressed confidence in the event's management, noting that past events have not caused traffic issues.
In addition to these events, the committee discussed ongoing park maintenance and potential projects involving Eagle Scouts, indicating a commitment to community involvement in park improvements. Overall, the meeting highlighted the city's proactive approach to managing park resources while fostering community activities.
