You know we are so blessed here in Burlington, North Carolina to have the magnificent parks
and recreational opportunities today the industry is compressing time so much that it's wonderful
to have the space where families and individuals can get outside and enjoy the fresh air and
what goes on. What we have to offer here within the Burlington community is such a good cross
section of inter generational activities between all the way from the kids at the parks, the
junior seniors, the senior seniors, and the interaction between the groups. With the community
getting involved with Parks and Rec and participating in the things that are being sponsored and
having giving feedback on things that they would actually like to see it makes them feel
like they are being heard and the things that they really feel good about themselves and
things that they really wanna see come to the park we're working to have that come together
for them. The facilities that the city has invested in also brings the economic benefit
to our community. We're able to host national tournaments, whether it be in soccer or softball
or some colleges. We're able to host local tournaments and all that brings dollars back
into the city's pocket, back into businesses pockets throughout our community. You know
when you start off with an idea and a vision for where you want it to go and when it really
happens, when you see people in the community really proud of that and you hear the words
being spread about the great things that are happening and Burlington Parks and Rec have
given us so much support, it just really makes everybody feel great. And Burlington is a
unique place in which the government, the private citizens, industry, and individuals
all come together to have a wonderful place to live, a wonderful place to work, and a
wonderful place to be competitive, and also enjoy the outside.
