Mayor, council highlight $850,000 grant for Glenn Chamberlain Park upgrades and local events calendar
Summary
Council members and the mayor described an $850,000 congressional grant to finish Glenn Chamberlain Park's sensory playground and other upgrades, noted a busy special-events calendar and encouraged resident participation in neighborhood and summer activities.
Council members and the mayor used part of the March 10 meeting to outline community events and park improvements, including a grant dedicated to finishing work at Glenn Chamberlain Park.
Councilmember Mr. Castillo and Mayor Scapiti said Congresswoman Amelia Sykes’ office helped secure an $850,000 grant to complete the park’s sensory playground, install two new picnic shelters and replace a walkway bridge. The mayor said those pieces will help finish a set of three outstanding park items and thanked the congresswoman's office for the funding.
Council also noted a full calendar of community events the parks and recreation commission is planning — including an Easter egg hunt, Arbor Day activities on April 25 and six summer concerts — and asked residents to consult the city’s ’Together Twinsburg’ communications portal for schedules and summary reports. Councilmember Mr. Post said the parks commission is pursuing trail cleanups and potential partnerships with the environmental commission.
The council did not take a formal vote specifically for the Glenn Chamberlain Park grant during the meeting; the grant funding was described during council communications and mayoral remarks.
