Why it matters: committee members said partnerships and better outreach could increase park usage and make special events more feasible without large increases to the committee’s staffing or budget.

Partnership and programming highlights

- Wood County Parks: members said past kayak demo days at 3 Meadows attracted attendees and suggested asking Wood County Parks to do more programming in Perrysburg parks.

- YMCA and pool events: members explored contracting with the YMCA to staff themed pool nights or youth swim nights to broaden evening or summer offerings; Shannon said she would “talk to Joe about pool parties.”

- Outreach and social media: committee members agreed that the city’s PIO, Marie, and Visit Perrysburg provide better channels to reach younger residents; Shannon agreed to contact Marie to coordinate posts and Instagram outreach that would highlight events and volunteer opportunities.

- Volunteer maintenance and cleanups: members discussed an “adopt-a-spot” idea for flowerbeds around park signs, weekly weeding by volunteers and participation in the Great American Cleanup in March/April.

Next steps

Assigned actions included Shannon contacting the city PIO and Joe (for pool operations) and the committee pursuing conversations with Wood County Parks and Visit Perrysburg to plan cooperative events. No formal agreements were reached during the meeting.

Ending

Committee members agreed to report back on discussions with the PIO, YMCA contacts and county park programming at a future meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Perrysburg OH, Citizen's Park & Recreation Advisory Committee - Feb 03, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Committee members discussed partnerships with Wood County Parks for kayak demos, potential pool-party contracts with the YMCA, outreach through the city PIO and Visit Perrysburg, and volunteer opportunities such as park sign maintenance and Great American Cleanup participation.","taxTitle","Perrysburg Board & Committees, Perrysburg, Wood County, Ohio","taxId",76620,"location","Ohio","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6107765,"Perrysburg parks advisory panel elects officers, approves minutes and assigns park stewards",143,213000,356000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2772770-998ebee2b1871d03b8fc75df19584068&start=213&end=356","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2772770-998ebee2b1871d03b8fc75df19584068/thumbnail_213000.jpg","/articles/6107765/Ohio/Perrysburg-parks-advisory-panel-elects-officers-approves-minutes-and-assigns-park-stewards","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6107765-94f73503d39e96751b9b00185a5a6f9e/orig.mp4?Expires=1770507458&Signature=bEXyVWJPIkykx2Fbg~SymxZ85EQ4IuSalySTilXtCQrgE2l-f2~9lif2mzmC5vAIYP8dBDDqYnMIKrTws~6rPbKc6mTp7BqBQ1R-wJ-2NXTWZTF7PshqNUH6aB7oRXgezg9k459DDcsVYc7yQn70WP~qug1O1KR9ecMh5ey~J95RoqAkFKz-bnWVYEL2AvB7PYeRvmX3brC65JQWIgFDLTRsJPXKA7OMktv1HtFOtsz6KW1Jg4X4Oi2O1tOP-mq2H3SzUpBoeHhcl8cHZmOf9gzlXXowgTB5pNyQELNbX5awafP2b3RPYyaM~8N1HyuJXuzTbKMWjcOZgs3LB4Mw7Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Perrysburg Parks & Recreation Advisory Committee held routine organizational business, electing officers, confirming park assignments and approving minutes from the November meeting.

At the start of the meeting the committee took nominations and elected Judy as chair, Justin as vice chair and Iris as secretary. The committee approved the November minutes by motion and voice vote.

Why it matters: the elections formalize leadership for the committee’s work this year; assigning members to monitor specific parks clarifies responsibilities for spot-checks and reporting.

Nominations and appointments

- Nominations: committee members nominated and seconded a slate consisting of Judy (chair), Justin (vice chair) and Iris (secretary).

- Vote: membership voted by voice; the group confirmed the slate with no recorded opposition.

Park steward assignments and guidance

Members confirmed park stewardship assignments — examples included Woodlands, 3 Meadows, Davis, Riverside, Rotary, Milestone and Orleans — and discussed the role of stewards: to report broken equipment or urgent safety hazards immediately to the police division and to report other maintenance needs to park staff or via the roster contact email.

Other business

The committee reported that a second picnic table for Riverside Park had been ordered after historic-landmark commission approval and that members should review the address list and roster language for accuracy.

Ending

Following the routine business, the meeting moved to park reports and project updates.","The Parks & Recreation Advisory Committee elected a slate of officers (Judy, Justin and Iris), approved November minutes and assigned committee members to monitor individual parks and report issues to staff or police for urgent problems.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6107770,"Perrysburg committee updates: restrooms, bottle fillers, new equipment and table order",295,1070000,1365000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2772770-998ebee2b1871d03b8fc75df19584068&start=1070&end=1365","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2772770-998ebee2b1871d03b8fc75df19584068/thumbnail_1070000.jpg","/articles/6107770/Ohio/Perrysburg-committee-updates-restrooms-bottle-fillers-new-equipment-and-table-order","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6107770-c1007c929acab671c8c23cba386df028/orig.mp4?Expires=1770507458&Signature=V8zZccSgpidm~1~7zpzC2xl~9h5fW39tvchgYYII5kTfq0MaXsgTVjQSYMqu4SfFD4wytrRznQZa9O7ghKIwwEJT-iIPVBZhgIkaGpfSNg6H4kFfbmVyFhHtRpXavhgm8Ui8LCB-wkJCsG2n-2DCo0ERGgkdY02LmrvT7MwBjM1DuG1ThP2AE6veejT2HAbfGwdFShHaaz0KyWCuOlPDfOVZY0vo1bUaCJJp1Q8F~gQYvm~Xm2ZkGggO7UqbyK6~Gjx~wezcOmOW56t4ee45A3cgq3gZaUL3C0v~nr6MrIPt-Ci8krtGhlZ0M8liSsoFy8a3J7No0MY~a-8wW-rQaA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Parks Department staff updated the Perrysburg Parks & Recreation Advisory Committee on projects and maintenance for the coming season, including grant-funded bottle fillers, restroom remodels and a new maintenance unit.

At the meeting Greg (Parks Department staff) reported the city received a Wood County grant to fund bottle filling stations and identified the installation locations as Rivercrest and Municipal Park. “We did get the Wood County grant for the water fill stations,” Greg said. He also confirmed restroom renovations at Rivercrest have begun and that the city has ordered a second picnic table for Riverside Park after historic-landmark signoff.

Why it matters: members said these improvements address routine maintenance and visitor amenities and are scheduled to proceed as weather and budgets allow.

Key project details

- Bottle filling stations: funded by the Wood County grant; sites named were Rivercrest and Municipal Park.

- Restroom remodels: demolition and replacement work began the week of the meeting; plans include new partitions, fixtures and an epoxy floor, while reusing sinks where feasible.

- Equipment and supplies: parks staff reported a purchase order was issued for a Buffalo turbine unit to mount on a front mower for snow and debris removal; staff expect delivery within weeks.

- Picnic table and historic review: a picnic table ordered for Riverside Park required approval from the historic landmark commission; the committee confirmed funds and the approved table that met the commission’s requirements.

Other notes

Staff said a recent Wood County grant application for batting-cage work was not successful and that light upgrades for the pickleball courts remain under study. Sunshades purchased last year are planned for installation at Municipal Park this season.

Ending

Staff summarized that work will continue as weather permits, with some projects budget-dependent; committee members asked for follow-up details as prices and timelines are confirmed.","Parks staff told the committee they received a Wood County grant for water bottle filling stations, started restroom remodels at Rivercrest, ordered a second picnic table for Riverside and purchased a Buffalo turbine for parks maintenance.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6107775,"Perrysburg committee weighs phased skate park plan, seeks city sponsorship",815,1972000,2787000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2772770-998ebee2b1871d03b8fc75df19584068&start=1972&end=2787","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2772770-998ebee2b1871d03b8fc75df19584068/thumbnail_1972000.jpg","/articles/6107775/Ohio/Perrysburg-committee-weighs-phased-skate-park-plan-seeks-city-sponsorship","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6107775-6215ef3c221a14e081266ff125a9150e/orig.mp4?Expires=1770507458&Signature=FK~K7qTpg-7a0IrBNo6NKUKdYzWExZRpWvlrUBvcc2rnrp7JuqRz6dUvcDutiBLPZpvO3mL8ASEmUwYqNKvHxH2yMhjq7x1IwN-apCiakI6W8vB1tXntkXHRXj48Is47NvC0~aLgAkRb~Z~9Ip~m24SegJ-QuC13dIgQn6dsr6o1rB2eb2ZYrOxDTRh~KGyEgbjt59jLMlYRaVqVnG10Bo~OBxOgikHT8O9fkGqD4V1~324f-G62MWr7VX1ZI94Wkvv4ZGOaQ9CQZotCRgOgAcPIjWx68RHswjE5Zdr0mSSwnI3-ttCRlsceThHfKeGKs6Jo3q2FMB7y-VhXII8Ggw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Members of the Perrysburg Parks & Recreation Advisory Committee spent a large portion of their meeting discussing a proposal to develop a skate facility in Perrysburg and next steps to fund and site it.

The committee discussed building the facility in phases, starting with low-cost skate features as a pilot before committing to a full concrete skate park. Justin (PRAC member and neuro sensory supervisor at ProMedica Toledo Hospital) said he would help lead planning and fundraising and argued a small start could demonstrate demand. “If you build it, they will come,” Justin said.

Why it matters: committee members said a successful skate facility could engage teenagers who do not participate in traditional team sports and help revitalize underused parks such as 3 Meadows and Bicentennial. Members repeatedly described funding and city endorsement as the principal obstacles.

Committee discussion and options

- Phased approach: members described starting with inexpensive “skate spots” (features that look like benches but include skateable edges) that cost under $10,000, then expanding if usage supports it. Justin described examples of locally built features that had raised “several thousand dollars” in grassroots fundraising.

- Potential locations: speakers suggested 3 Meadows, Orleans Park and Rotary as possible initial sites; 3 Meadows was repeatedly named for its underused open space.

- Funding and partners: members discussed pursuing grants and corporate sponsors, noting the Tony Hawk Foundation as an example of possible external funding sources and that private contractors had expressed interest in donating materials or labor. Committee members reported some local contractors had told them “when it gets started, let us know, we’re interested.”

- City process and approvals: multiple members said the committee needs the Recreation Committee’s and city council’s formal backing before approaching major donors. The committee agreed the next step is to brief or align with the city council member who supports the idea so it can be presented as a city-endorsed project.

What the committee directed

- Members agreed to seek alignment with the city’s Recreation Committee and a city council sponsor to move the project toward an endorsed city initiative.

- Volunteers on the committee offered to research pilot features, seek local contractor interest and explore fundraising models.

Next steps and timeline

Committee members said they would speak with the council contact identified during the meeting and pursue conversations with local contractors, fundraising contacts and the Recreation Department to determine a feasible timeline. No formal commitment of city funds or a final site was made during the meeting.

Ending

Committee members left the discussion with action items to contact council leadership and the Recreation Department and to identify potential pilot features and sponsors for a phased skate facility.","Members of the Perrysburg Parks & Recreation Advisory Committee discussed a phased approach to building a skate facility, including low-cost pilot features, fundraising options and the need for formal city endorsement and private sponsors.","actionData","errors"]
