October updates

This month's photo contest has a universal theme. Take your best photo of Carmody Park’s Universal Playground(External link), which is universally accessible to children of all abilities. The other project is Carmody's pickleball courts, and pickleball has certainly become nearly universally popular.

While not eligible for the photo contest, the purchase of new parkland featured this month is property at 2911 S. Wadsworth Blvd. to add to the Bear Creek Greenbelt(External link).
