Did you know we have a new column in the Ashland Daily Tidings called Park Views? “Reaching out to and communicating with the citizens of Ashland is an important part of the mission of the Ashland Parks & Recreation Commission. We are launching this column to help share information regarding current park projects, recreational programming, parks and open-space features and community issues that pertain to all citizens of Ashland and are important to the Ashland Parks & Recreation Commission. During 2017, commissioners and Parks staff will take turns communicating with the community via this monthly column regarding park and community issues and park projects that we feel are worthy of discussion.” – APRC Chair Commissioner, Mike Gardiner — You can view all columns to date at ashland.or.us/ParkViews.
