Highlands Parks and Recreation Advisory Board members highlighted a steady increase in revenue from local parks during their recent meeting on July 21, 2025. The board reviewed financial records, revealing a consistent upward trend in park revenue over the years, which reflects growing community engagement and usage of park facilities.
Additionally, the meeting shed light on historical records concerning the park's establishment. Recent findings from the US Army Corps of Engineers confirmed that the park was built in 1966. This information, previously elusive to the former lake manager, was successfully located by board member Kenneth, underscoring the importance of diligent record-keeping and historical awareness in park management.
The discussions not only emphasized the financial health of the parks but also reinforced the board's commitment to preserving the history and integrity of local recreational spaces. As the community continues to utilize these facilities, the board aims to enhance park offerings and ensure sustainable growth in the years to come.
