City highlights parks projects and adopts first climate action and resiliency plan
Summary
Officials highlighted the community-driven opening of outdoor pickleball courts, upcoming parks planning and adoption of the city’s first climate action and resiliency improvement plan to guide operations and resilience to extreme weather.
In the State of the City address, the speaker described the opening of outdoor pickleball courts at the Bowling Green Community Center as a long-standing community initiative supported by private donors, the Parks and Recreation Foundation and ARPA funds.
The speaker said parks and recreation are essential community needs and noted that as the Parks and Recreation Department updates its five-year master plan, community input will shape priorities. Residents will have an opportunity later this fall to consider a parks and recreation funding question, the speaker added.
The address also said the city adopted its first climate action and resiliency improvement plan in 2025 to guide operations, strengthen resilience to extreme weather and inform long-term decision-making. The speaker framed these efforts as practical, locally driven, and focused on protecting people, property and essential services.
