Per Capita grants have been approved for both Horsethief and Man O'War Parks.

The CSD staff is looking forward to starting these projects to better our parks for the community. Projects planned for use of the grant include aerating the lake, new tables, benches and playgrounds at both parks.

Parks and Recreation Coordinator, Shawnee Brown, has also been working to give the preschool room at the community center a makeover so it can be used for other children's activities.

The CSD has hired a new Recreation aide, Nicole Liere. She is a Stallion Springs resident and has volunteered for several community events in the past. She is very energetic and involved.
