This is usually finalized in <br /> December. Stancil commented that a lot of things on the list have been delayed due <br /> to COVID so they will need to be moved to 2021 or even 2022. Soccer.com and <br /> Millhouse Rd Park will be delayed, for example. Stancil suggested added advising <br /> and reviewing opportunities for online programming. Zhao also would like explore <br /> the possibility of adding some trees to parks as a low cost improvement, small scale. <br /> Zhao referenced the small Booker Creek improvement project done by Chapel Hill. <br /> Alice Armstrong mentioned the Booker Creek improvement project was done mostly <br /> by high school students putting in service hours. The entire project was completed <br /> by volunteers. Chair Rhodes came back to the suggestion of the feasibility of <br /> continuing virtual programming and capitalizing on that investment.

Picnic Shelters and fields are available for rental under limited <br /> conditions (following all COVID guidelines). Soccer.com Center is closed for the fall <br /> 2020 season, COVID regulations prevented any tournament play, and after asking <br /> organizations that used the facilities if there was interest in using the Center for <br /> practices and limited use, none was received so the decision was made to keep it <br /> closed.
