One of the issues that I find crucial to our town is recreation. I know we have a wonderful committee, little league, and a number of other outlets already doing good work. In a town such as ours, it is very important that recreation constantly remain on our minds. Parks and recreation are one of the issues people look at when they consider moving to a Freehold Borough. Recreation is without doubt one of the fundamental basics when seeking a first class quality of life for all of our residents. As a parent with three school aged children, I can not help but to understand how vital it is for families to have easy access to quality recreation. Two ideas that I have begun to look into are right here on our door step.
The first is very evident in that we are the county seat. Monmounty County has an award winning, nationally recognized park system. I have been in contact with Lillian Burrys office, the Freeholder liaison to the Monmouth County Park System. They have been quite informative and directed me to the appropriate contacts in the Park System itself. The Park System has a plethora of activities, aids, and programs that are great for a town like ours that is very lacking in open space. I have reached out, and as a councilman, will seek to work with own recreation committee with the goal of giving our residents better access to quality recreation and programs. As the county seat, we should absolutely work with the county park system. They have much to offer that would enhance our own recreational opportunities such as the Mobile Recreation Programs and Grant Matching for our Municipal Parks.
The second idea I am currently pursuing TODAY, is to have even more AFFORDABLE Athletic Programs to augment current ventures in our town. This valuable program gives children access to good role models and helps steer them clear of gangs and other negative influences. This program will offers residents and children further opportunities and will build better relations and trust all around. More information will be available after November 6th, regardless of the election results.
