Greetings City of Roswell, As we have continued to strive for excellence during these turbulent times, I am grateful to see things shaping up to end 2021 with a bang. Our team continues to create some incredible programs during the pandemic and continues to improve the lives of the people in our community. The Department of Recre- ation, Parks, Historic and Cultural Affairs is excited to move forward with our outstanding parks, facilities and programs for the community this fall and winter and we carry this honor proudly as we start to emerge into a renewed season of fun. At the publishing of this letter, we are still managing COVID-19 protocols and nimbly navigating our way through guidelines, recommendations and safety protocols. We are excited and looking forward to all opportunities that are on the horizon for our community and we appreciate the community’s flexibility and understanding as we continue to provide recreation and park services. Please continue to monitor our various communication channels for updates as we navigate the changes. Our goal is bring back the exciting and spectacular events, holiday programs and more by year end so that we can resume at full speed once more. While we have not included them in this year’s programming yet, please monitor our website and social media for updates. Throughout the year, we will add any changes and additional activities and events that we are able to provide on behalf of the community. Lastly, I continue to be grateful to our Mayor, Council, Recreation Commission and our outstanding staff and volunteers. Roswell truly is a great place to live, work and play and I am grateful to everyone for their hard work and dedication to our residents and community.
