2015 Newsletter: January & February

Mt. Juliet Parks & Recreation Winter 2015 Newsletter January–February

Happy New Year!

As we close 2014, it makes me so proud of

all we accomplished. We completed the Planet

Playground renovations, added 2 outdoor pickleball courts, added on

to the walking track at Charlie Daniels to make it a full mile, opened

Jones Park; in addition to hosting our regular annual events and

weekly programs. I am so excited to see what’s in store for us in

2015 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 system possible,

please don’t hesitate to let us know. We are constantly seeking new

ways for you to, “Play in MJ!”
