Whether it be attending VSHFLDOHYHQWV, ZDONLQJ to schools and activity <br />centers, ULGLQJ\RXUKRUVH on stunning passive park trails, volunteering at one of our <br />inclusive special needs FDPSV, or attending a youth lacrosse game, there’s a unique, <br />strong sense of place and community in Milton. Milton’s rural character is put on display <br />whether you’re driving by the hundreds of acres of beautiful QDWXUHSUHVHUYHV <br />(the purchases of which voters strongly supported) or enjoying the “small town farm feel” <br />evident at Milton’s premier athletic complex,%HOO0HPRULDO3DUN. These great amenities <br />and offerings do not come without challenges. According to national standards, Milton’s <br />young, yet growing Parks and Recreation Department underserves our citizens stemming <br />from a VKRUWDJHRIIDFLOLWLHV.

The City’s sidewalk and trail network is built-out <br />according to our GHVLJQDWHGWUDLOSULRULWLHV, giving <br />families opportunities to VDIHO\ travel, experience the <br />RXWGRRUV, and enjoy what Milton has to offer. <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: ED255D72-EB5F-464C-83B6-643F4B19812A
