Networking Opportunity: Improving Memphis’ Parks Meeting

There will be a public meeting tomorrow to discuss improving Memphis’ parks.  Here’s more information about the meeting:

Memphis’ historical park system is steeped in tradition and promotes many activities, but it also has challenges and needs, including more modern equipment, better connections to neighborhoods, more programs and sports, better conservation, more users, more parks and parkland – and more spending on maintenance and repair.

At the first meeting, we highlighted places needing attention and programs needing implementation. Now we want to help make these changes actually happen!
