The Ely Park & Rec Board met outside on May 20, 2024. The meeting started at the shelter in Whiteside Park, then walked over to the Little League baseball fields. The group then walked over to see a tree climbing demonstration by Dutchman. They wanted to offer this activity to kids during July 4th events at Whiteside. Unfortunately, conversations during the walks, presentation and demonstration portion of the Park & Rec meeting were not of YouTube quality for posting. After the two “walking field trips,” everyone returned to the pavilion at Whiteside. Scroll down for YouTube clip.
