| Great idea acook, I also know of a private school, NGFS, that may be interested in doing something like this. Fridays are their "community service" days. This might be right up their alley and another school to add to your list.

| dmauser, I was just excited about getting the kids involved. I guess I didn't think that one through (getting the schools involved). It seems like we don't have a lot of kids involved as of fight now. I know the boyscouts are doing the picnic tables, but that is all that I have heard about that kids are doing. It seems like to me that if we could find a way to get the younger generations involved then we would be establishing good ground for the future of the park. Who better to oneday put the project in the hands of than our children who have grown up there. Thanks for getting us back on track with the GCS system, that is just motivation to look at other avenues.

Skiddles- NGFS is actually one of the schools I had in mind. Great minds think alike! Of course now we only have two private school possibilities instead of three...oh well. The Montessori School is the other possibility. I've already talked with the Permaculture teacher there and he is definitely interested.
lacka- I wouldn't give up hope entirely on the GCS system. I actually know of a public school in the area that has a gardening/community service program and another one that is thinking of starting one.

Just seen the Oak Ridge ballpark plans on the front of the NWO.
 NICE
Its nice to see a town care about its kids and citizens to spend some of their tax dollars on them.
Summerfield lets use what we budgeted our money for and get moving on it..........

Good job OR
Has the Summerfield Park plan ever been in the NWO? I have gone to town hall to see it, but I don't remember seeing it in the paper-I might have just missed it.
Can they put it on the town website?

| Might be good to get it in there again or at least on the town website. Since their has been some talk about it and to let the newbies know what it is. Not everybody can get to the town hall before it closes.

I would like to see a current plan in print too if possible. It would be nice to have it to reference at my leisure.
I guess I wasn't as interested the first time it was printed......

Do they have a PARK in Rocky Mount??
And I hear Bama likes to stay at the Holiday Inn Express!!
Oh.. and I was reading a (Fabio Pappy type fiction) book the other day and they mentioned the guy who planned Savannah GA after the fires (Oglethorpe I think his name was) and said that he planned the entire city around a series of "little" parks.
Anybody been to Savannah? Is that true? If that's so, what a lovely vision he had.

| Was in Savannah 3 weeks ago, you are correct, there are 23 parks in the downtown area, was 24 but 50 years ago the city lease it for a 4 story parking lot. Lease is up this year it will be torn down and put back as the original park. They have very nice tours of area.
