The Huber Heights Parks and Recreation Board held a productive meeting on September 18, 2025, focusing on community engagement and upcoming events that celebrate the city’s history and culture. A key highlight was the announcement of a series of themed events planned for each month, aimed at fostering community involvement and partnership with local organizations.
The board is actively seeking collaboration with various groups to champion events throughout the year. Notably, January will kick off with a celebration of Huber Heights' 45th anniversary, featuring a proclamation at a city council meeting and a time capsule event. February will spotlight local businesses in collaboration with the Chamber of Commerce, while March will focus on music and entertainment, with plans for a public movie night.
As the year progresses, each month will bring new themes, including transportation in April, arts and culture in May, and sports and recreation in September. The board is particularly excited about the potential for a fishing derby in June and a community picnic in July, which will include a time capsule burial.
The discussions also touched on the importance of engaging schools and local organizations, such as the YMCA, to enhance participation in events. The board is committed to making these gatherings inclusive and reflective of the community's interests, with plans for a "Taste of Huber Heights" in October and a Veterans Day event in November.
In conclusion, the Parks and Recreation Board is dedicated to creating a vibrant calendar of events that not only celebrate Huber Heights' heritage but also encourage community involvement and collaboration. Residents are encouraged to participate and share their ideas as the board continues to develop these initiatives.
