Mt. Juliet Parks & Recreation Winter 2016 Newsletter January–February

Happy New Year!

As we close 2015, it makes me so proud of

all we accomplished. We renovated the community

center with a new basketball floor, an additional meeting room, and

new bathroom flooring in addition to hosting our regular annual

events, athletics, weekly programs, etc. I am so excited to see what’s

in store for us in 2016 and I’m honored to be your parks manager. If

you ever have any suggestions or ideas about additional services we

can provide in order to bring you the best Parks & Recreation sys-

tem possible, please don’t hesitate to let us know. We are constantly

seeking new ways for you to, “Play in MJ!”
