The Plymouth Park Department acted on several requests during Monday's meeting in the Conservation Clubhouse.
The Boys & Girls Club of Marshall County requested to use the pool at Centennial Park during the summer. Starting in June and running through July, they plan to bus children to the pool on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1 to 4 p.m. for a flat rate of $300.
The city park board approved their request.
The Plymouth Lions Club requested the use of the pickleball courts and the Freymen Shelter on Saturday, July 19, for a community fundraiser to benefit local children. The request stated that proceeds from the event would help provide dictionaries to all third graders in Plymouth schools, award scholarships to graduating seniors, purchase eyeglasses for children in need and conduct vision screenings for kindergarten students.
The Plymouth Park Board approved their request.
Jefferson Elementary School PTO requested the donation of a family pool pass for their annual Jogging for Jefferson event on May 13. This yearly event uses a portion of Centennial Park for the students to jog on.
Members of the city park board unanimously approved the request.
The Cure Starts Now, a pediatric brain cancer research foundation, asked the park board for permission to use portions of Centennial Park for a color run on Saturday, June 14. It was noted that the color used is biodegradable.
“Carter’s Cancer Stomp” fundraising event will honor Carter King, a Webster School student who passed away from brain cancer. All proceeds from the fundraiser will go towards pediatric brain cancer research.
The color run will begin at 10 a.m. and end at noon. Early registration and virtual runners are $30, and regular registration is $40. The Cure Starts Now also plans on games and a silent auction.
The Plymouth Park Board approved the request, noting that a location will be determined closer to the event due to several projects happening in Centennial Park.
The final request approved by the city park board was made by Kayla Pittman, a resident who has a child with Down syndrome. She was granted free shelter use in Centennial Park on October 5th, Down Syndrome Awareness Month. Plans are a run/walk with food trucks, raffles, and a 50/50. Members of Delta Theta Tau will be assisting.
Funds from the Down Syndrome event will purchase wish list items for Plymouth Community Schools and surrounding therapists.
