| Pappy has to think the forum played a big part in that overwhelming response.

And I agree with Pappy wholeheartedly. Those of you who participate in the forum directly, as well as those who read it but don't post comments, most definitely took the time to give us your feedback. We thank you for that, and it's yet another confirmation of the value of this forum and those who read and participate in it.

Patti, I don't know of any scheduled "Grand Opening" of the park in the park, but wouldn't it be a great get together for our community... Pappy grab your lawn chair and bucket of chicken. I'll be com'n with blanket and family picnic basket in hand. Ice Cream for everyone!! I might have to do some follow up on this thought!
PS...Thanks Patti for all you do to help inform our community!!

On the grand opening of the park, George Holub (the Volunteer Project Manager) says phase 1 is scheduled for completion in June or July. When it gets closer to being finished and a date is set, somebody be sure to let me and Patti know -- we'll be there with our cameras, taking pictures of all you guys sitting in your lawn chairs, eating chicken and smiling!

Mr. Holub was nice enough to take time out of his weekend to give me and PaulW a tour of the park today. A big thank you to George!
He pointed out areas where the playground and outdoor classroom will be located. He also pointed out areas that might be good for a community garden and other "green" projects.
Paul and I saw several areas that could be specified as mini demonstration wildlife habitats.
It's going to be a great place for the community when it is finished! Everyone involved should be proud.

Thanks for sharing that, acook.
Pappy's gettin' giddy as a schoolboy!
Mr. Holub certainly deserves a lot more than our thanks!

I know that I've seen places like the Bicentennial Gardens and the Bog in Greensboro that have markers identifying various types of trees and plants. That might be a good idea, either in a specified area or at different spots along the walking trails. This could help people learn about various species of plants. Lots of people might not know what a Red Oak or a Loblolly Pine are.
Also at the Guilford Battleground, there are markers specifying different things that happened during the battle. Maybe some kind of markers telling various things about Summerfield's history could be done as well. (Historical committee??)
The park committee may have already thought of all this stuff, but I'm just throwing some stuff out there.

Almost sounds like 4th of July would be a good target date?
Maybe we could all celebrate the 4th in our new park??
Sounds good to me...........but ANY date would be OK for this occasion.
What a great accomplishment for Summerfield !!!!

Great ideas, S. Smith! I'm sure the park committee has some great plans for the park, yet it's nice to hear suggestions from other citizens too. This forum has been a great place for people to voice their opinions and share their wishes/needs for the park.
Who knows what the power of our collective voice will bring?!?!
