Interested in reading a recent Parks Survey about potential additions to Check Roberts Park? 

Over 250 individuals participated in our recent survey regarding the development of new tennis and pickleball courts at Chuck Roberts Park. Their valuable feedback is guiding us in the project's early stages. While no final decisions have been made, all input is appreciated. Survey results are now available to read HERE. We're also exploring additional funding sources to expedite the park's reopening. Your ongoing support is vital as we enhance our community spaces.
