The Milton Parks and Recreation Advisory Board (PRAB) will sit down for a midday meeting today to potentially draft up some new rules about when it's just too hot, or too cold, to play ball. This meeting, deviating from the typically scheduled evening gatherings, will open its doors at the City Hall's Council Chambers at noon, for all concerned citizens wishing to attend in-person or online, there's also the option to watch the livestream online.

The agenda includes reports from various athletic programs like Hopewell Baseball and girls lacrosse, as well as updates on arts and adult outdoor recreation programming. They plan to bravely tackle their "Extreme Weather Policy" which last year, included a heat index activities but is now looking to include wind chill as well. Furthermore, if the Fulton County Schools cancel due to severe weather, you can expect the City’s activities to be canceled as well.

There will also be discussions about fees for Milton schools renting City fields and facilities. The talk will shift gears into staff reports, honoring the 2024 Wall of Fame inductees: Lydia Cassada, Cole McNamee, and Bob Rech. These three will get their accolades in an October 26 ceremony at Bell Memorial Park. Then rest assured, the committee will provide updates on important topics like improving the parking plight at Legacy Park athletic complex off Cox Road.

The meeting will conclude with planning for community outreach and events, reflecting the ongoing effort to strengthen community spirit. After this gathering, the PRAB members will be reuniting to an evening meeting scheduled for October 17. Whether the discussions will lead to chillier or warmer conclusions, outcomes remains to be seen. However, Milton's commitment to keeping its parks safe and its recreation programs responsive ensures those on the fields don't have to question about the weather.
