The
Brownsville/Haywood County Parks and Recreation Dept., along with the City
of Brownsville, has won the Excellence in Parks Award.
The
award was presented by the Tennessee Municipal League (TML) at a conference in
Nashville on Sunday, June 25, 2006, and is for the Webb F. Banks Passive Park
on Key Corner St. Passive Park has been nominated and won several awards in the
State.
“We
are so fortunate to have this great park in our town,” says Parks and Rec. Director
Nancy Cates, who, along with Anne Banks and Mayor Webb Banks, were on hand to
accept the award.
Cates
and her crew do a great job of keeping up several locations all over town,
including the City Pool which is now open Monday through Friday, from 12 – 5
p.m., and Sunday from 1-5 p.m. (They will be open July 4, too. Admission is
$2.00 for 12 and up, and $1 for 11 and under.)
Truth
be told, I’m sure they have a hand in a lot more than we know about or give
them credit for. So, thank you, Nancy, and thank you to all the Parks and Rec.
team. You work really hard to make us look good and we appreciate it.
Congratulations,
also, to Mayor Webb Banks on being named the TML’s Mayor of the Year.
