Recreation advisory commission outlines master plan success, scholarship fund and park projects
Summary
Goldsboro’s Recreation Advisory Commission chair and staff reported midyear progress on the adopted Comprehensive Parks & Recreation Master Plan, a scholarship fund to help children afford summer programs, maintenance work at Hermann Park pavilion and completion of the North End Park inclusive playground.
Goldsboro — The Recreation Advisory Commission gave a midyear update on June 15, highlighting completion of the Comprehensive Parks & Recreation Master Plan, a new scholarship fund for children who cannot afford programs, and ongoing maintenance and improvements at city parks.
Miss Felicia Brown, staff liaison, introduced Archbishop Anthony Slater, chair of the recreation advisory commission, who outlined the commission’s makeup, monthly meeting cadence (third Tuesday at 6 p.m. at Peachtree Recreation Center) and volunteer membership representing city districts. "I'm Archbishop Anthony Slater. I represent District 5," Slater said, and described the commission’s role in advising on master-plan implementation and grant readiness.
Slater described a scholarship fund under development that solicits donations from businesses and individuals to ensure children from larger families can participate in summer camps and other programs. He also cited repairs at Hermann Park Pavilion and the role the commission played as steering committee for the McGill Associates master plan adopted by council.
Council thanked volunteers and emphasized the commission’s role in grant applications and community engagement.
What’s next: the commission will continue implementation work, support grant applications, and seek to fill one vacant commission seat.
