The finance update, delivered by Greg (finance staff), said the board’s operating accounts are “now to the positive by 600,000 ish,” and noted that staff expect to spend a sizable portion of that on upcoming trail construction and the AS Trail project. The food-and-beverage tax fund was described as roughly balanced month to month; the parks’ S&R fund (repairs and replacement) stood at about $250,000 and impact fees totalled approximately $120,000.

Greg told the board program revenues contributed a significant share of year-to-date S&R fund income. He said the impact-fee balance will likely be used this year for trail projects once building permits and related development activity generate additional fee revenue.

Parks operations staff also reported event and program metrics. Staff said recent bad weather had constrained early summer activity but attendance picked up with hot weather. Aquatics staff reported two completed swim-lesson sessions with positive feedback and a third session underway; adult swim lessons and summer camp programs were also active. Parks staff said the sports park hosted a large tournament with heavy weekend use and that midweek practice bookings keep diamonds occupied Monday through Thursday.

Board members asked operational questions about attendance and capacity. Staff supplied attendance estimates for large events — including an organizer-provided estimate of 15,000–17,000 for Greenwood Pride — and summarized that summer programming and tournaments were generating steady revenue.

The finance and operations reports did not propose new appropriations at the meeting; staff said they will return if project spending or contracts require board approval.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Park Board Meeting 2025-07-01","oneSentenceSummary","Finance staff reported a roughly $600,000 positive operating position after a June property-tax draw and summarized program revenue, impact fees and expected spending on trail projects.","taxTitle","Greenwood, Johnson County, Indiana","taxId",4102,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6179293,"Greenwood parks board approves use agreements for five community events",218,38000,256000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5131360-9aef934faabc1068f01dcbc1ac6550be&start=38&end=256","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5131360-9aef934faabc1068f01dcbc1ac6550be/thumbnail_38000.jpg","/articles/6179293/Greenwood/Johnson-County/Indiana/Greenwood-parks-board-approves-use-agreements-for-five-community-events","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6179293-d6f46c644ea8dec2faaa59fdb664048f/orig.mp4?Expires=1775421713&Signature=Y-rPGnAXrhtnyoY9HVt4PkSOHfH7Oc13WfrSBRHzXQ7UThJ5q6kF4X3ViJ4jzaNVEBB4KYbqnPbeXVIcAkFJ611a53Veo43dSrXCnC7hstnDPFxbGBmpPbgGte9jfu874ZqQJ~o9qtxfbG0pUxOiT710m-GLCIzgcIIb6kMwSaS8NZMDc3fUQUIGwaGNCsJsgiY91v2KnFoF4HkvDIm~A0BsMlgnzkcEQzR15ZDSnLffW3lvbYCRQemdCrw-9OTn8ckCt5YwFHF038yL8tEdlrx9zah-PuCvW6Chdd4OSLsommar-6KRJEZvm~tSmpWxLqtPqcYKZdI9KENQ8DkGKQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Greenwood Parks Board on July 1 approved use agreements for five community events, including a charitable pickleball tournament, the senior expo, Greenwood Pride, a Greenwood Bridal event and a bike-safety program.

Board members voted to approve each individual use agreement after short presentations from event organizers. The board approved a July 24, 2025, evening pickleball fundraiser by Anderson Hauser to be held at Craig Park; the group's representatives said proceeds will go to Coburn Place. The board also approved the seventh annual Senior Expo (May 7, 2026), Greenwood Pride (June 6, 2026 at Woodman Park), a Greenwood Bridal event in 2026 at Woodland/Woodman Park, and a City of Greenwood Community Development Services (CDS) bike-safety event on Aug. 9, 2025, at Freedom Park.

The approvals were routine and came with standard conditions in the use agreements. Mr. Burton moved to approve the Anderson Hauser pickleball tournament use agreement and Mr. Prost seconded; the board recorded all votes in favor and the motion carried. Similar motions to approve the senior expo, Greenwood Pride, the Greenwood Bridal event and the CDS bike-safety program were each made and passed by unanimous voice vote.

Anderson Hauser representatives Audrey Foley and Sophie Warren described the July 24 pickleball event as an evening tournament from 6 to 9 p.m. that will use seven courts at Craig Park and provide free food, beverages and music. Foley said the group expects 15 to 20 teams and charges $20 per person (10-person teams). Sophie Warren said the tournament’s beneficiary is Coburn Place. “Coburn Place is a local organization that provides transitional housing for survivors of domestic violence in their families,” Sophie Warren said.

Parks staff told the board the Senior Expo organizer may choose either the community center or the field house for the May 7, 2026 event; the parks department said it is prepared to host the expo at either location while organizers work out shuttle and logistics. The CDS bike-safety item is an intern-led program by Isaac Babb, an intern with Community Development Services; staff recommended the shelter house at Freedom Park as the preferred gathering point for the Aug. 9 program.

Board members asked routine operational questions — capacity, venue logistics and public-safety coordination — but raised no objections to the agreements. Parks staff said Greenwood Police Department will handle security for Greenwood Pride and that past Pride events have run without incident.

The board’s approvals allow organizers to proceed under the standard use-agreement terms; staff will finalize any venue-specific contract language and logistical arrangements with each organizer.","The Greenwood Parks Board approved use agreements for five upcoming community events, including a fundraiser pickleball tournament, a senior expo and Greenwood Pride festival, during its July 1, 2025 meeting.","actionData","errors"]
