Summary

The Parks & Recreation committee confirmed the Suds & Songs event for Saturday, May 30, 2026, and invited volunteers to an informal planning meeting on May 19. Committee members discussed contingency arrangements if weather forces a move indoors to 438 E. Lancaster St.
Committee members reviewed a park survey showing the most-requested improvements as playground equipment and more swings, though complete survey results had not yet been distributed. The committee discussed fundraising for fireworks and recommended soliciting both private donors and businesses and reintroducing in-person collections at events to help defray costs.
