Parks Board Approves Stage Rental, Discusses Grand View Cooler Repairs, Anderson Park Bricks, and Splash Pad Status

The Parks Board approved the rental of a 16x32 foot stage for Sherman Street Church of God's National Children's Day event on June 14th. The rental fee and insurance were discussed, with the possibility of city involvement potentially waiving costs. The board also received an update on the Grand View restaurant's new walk-in cooler and freezer, which is now operational after significant repairs due to water intrusion. Additionally, the board was informed about the Anderson Community Park project, where bricks honoring community leaders are in place for an upcoming ceremony on June 11th. The Southside Pool Splash Pad is currently down due to a mechanical failure with a major valve, with repairs expected around June 9th, though efforts are underway to expedite this. The pool itself is operational with sufficient staffing. The paddle boats and kayaks are experiencing high demand, and adequate staffing is in place. The board also discussed a request from the "Marvelous Mondays" children's program to utilize the golf course on Mondays, which is a busy day due to a $25 special. Alternative days, specifically Tuesdays, were suggested, and the program's coordinator is to follow up with the golf course manager.
