Last week we were visited by Patrick Marchese the Chairman for the City of Mequon's Park & Open Spaces Board. During his time with us he shared he deep gratitude for the high level of involvement and impact rotary has had on the Mequon-Thiensville Park systems and his hope that such a partnership will continue for many years to come. The mission of the Park Board and Parks Department is to acquire, improve, and maintain the City’s park and open space for the purpose of providing active and passive recreational activities, land and water preservation and restoration, and environmental education for its residents. The various programs included are scheduling events, collection of fees, and the coordination of stewardship groups and athletic organizations. While most members of the community think the area only has a handful of park, The area actually supports 25 different parks each with its own unique arrangement of amenities and services for visitors. These parks are a key component to continuing to sustain our high quality of life!
