The Scoop
Do you have ideas for Asheville’s parks and recreation facilities? Join Asheville Parks & Recreation (APR) Director D. Tyrell McGirt for one-on-one or in a small group conversations during casual “Park Bench Chats.” “We believe that our parks and recreation system is strongest when it reflects the needs and desires of our community,” according to McGirt. “I had many wonderful conversations during workshops as part of grassroots engagement building the 'Recreate Asheville' plan, a 10-year vision to guide parks and recreation decisions. Park Bench Chats events are a natural extension to keep the conversation going in relaxed settings.” 📆 Dates & Details Sign up for a 20-minute slot up to 45 days before each date at this link: https://calendar.app.google/XaWFW4tavbScNQ2s7.
