The quarterly gravel road maintenance has been completed and we are working on cleaning out
the ditches along the gravel roads. The paving program just completed the patching work and full
paving should begin in a couple of months. The Heritage Walk crosswalks project should begin
later this month.
Jim Cregge, Parks and Recreation Director
We have over 400 kids in the basketball program. Our lacrosse numbers have reached a plateau
and we are considering ideas of how we can engage more kids in lacrosse. Baseball has topped at
600 kids. We are excited to partner with BUMC for use of their baseball field. The pool at the
former Milton Country Club has a leak and we have scheduled a pool company to investigate. We
were approved for the Natural Resources grant for $100,000 so that brings us to a total of $400,000
in grant funds for Providence Park.
