Mt. Juliet Parks & Recreation Winter 2015 Newsletter January–February
Happy New Year!
As we close 2014, it makes me so proud of
all we accomplished. We completed the Planet
Playground renovations, added 2 outdoor pickleball courts, added on
to the walking track at Charlie Daniels to make it a full mile, opened
Jones Park; in addition to hosting our regular annual events and
weekly programs. I am so excited to see what’s in store for us in
2015 and I’m honored to be your parks manager. If you ever have
any suggestions or ideas about additional services we can provide in
order to bring you the best Parks & Recreation system possible,
please don’t hesitate to let us know. We are constantly seeking new
ways for you to, “Play in MJ!”
