Ad iffe rent park is highlighted quarterly, on the OCDOA website and in the <br /> Endless Possibilities Activity Guide,with the encouragement of participation by <br /> everyone. <br /> OCDOA <br /> • Homestead Park and Aquatic Center-which has received several improvements <br /> including hvac installed, roof repairs, deep cleaning of the flooring, improved the <br /> Locker rooms'shower spaces, drained the pool to complete repairs, and <br /> pressure-wash the pool deck among other infrastructure upgrades. <br /> • Outdoor center improvement: Worked with our Asset Management Services to <br /> create signage to encourage use of our bike racks at Seymour Center. Hopefully <br /> there will be an increase use of this outdoor amenity once the signs are <br /> installed. The signage will be in 3 different languages with a bike symbol for <br /> better directives. <br /> • Outdoor group acknowledgement: Even during the cold weather our gardeners <br /> at both centers are still attentive. There are still conversations regarding the trail <br /> around the pond located at Meadowlands/Passmore Center and we hope to get <br /> some movement at some point in the future. Passmore gardeners had a small <br /> set back. Avan landed in the garden, which busted down the fountain, and many <br /> decorative items, however, all is replaceable and thankfully, no one was injured. <br /> b.
