Emery planners back park upgrades, discuss motocross track and town celebration
Summary
Planners proposed upgrades to Emey Park and rec facilities, suggested a skateboard park and motocross track, and debated fixing the annual town celebration date; they agreed to draft language and allow town council to finalize the date.
Chapter 6 review covered parks, recreation and the annual town celebration. Speaker 3 said Emory Park and the town rec center support community events, youth sports and family recreation, and proposed specific facility improvements.
Goals discussed included upgrading the park for community events, maintaining and improving the gun range for safety, installing a skateboard park and bike track, extending walking paths to connect the town center and trails, and maintaining or developing a motocross track. Speaker 1 asked that Josh (a local contact) be consulted about the motocross track and the planning group agreed to mark the item for follow-up.
Members also debated whether the town's annual celebration should fix the week of July 24 each year; participants noted the date can change and agreed to forward any date recommendation to the town council for final action. The group suggested coordinating with the county travel bureau to pursue TRT funding for recreational and tourism-related projects.
