Hello Clayton!

This fall has been a whirlwind! In October, we hosted the

Clayton Community Recreational Foundation’s

groundbreaking for Harmony Playground presented by

Caterpillar. Less than a month later, on the heels of the

nearly weeklong Halloween and Harvest Festival events,

passed the Parks and Recreation Bond with more than

74% voter approval. The Parks and Recreation Advisory

Board, myself and your entire Parks and Recreation team

could not be more excited about the projects that are now

possible with the passage of the bond referendum.

We are not taking the voters’ mandate for granted and will

be rolling up our sleeves to plan and build parks and

amenities that exceed your expectations. Although the

ideas and types of improvements are clear: better and new

athletic fields for longer seasons, sports lighting for more

play, new playgrounds, a splash pad, and more indoor

space; the details still need to be hammered out.

The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board will act as the

steering committee to guide staff, planners and partners to

put the ideas into construction drawings that can be

built. This gives you a great opportunity to be involved and

have a larger voice.

The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board meets on the

second Monday of every month at 6:00 p.m. in the Clayton

Community Center. All are welcome at these public

meetings. Stay tuned for additional planning meetings in

February and March.

Thank you to the voters and citizens of the Town Clayton

for entrusting us with the future of your parks by

supporting the referendum. We are accountable to you and

take that as seriously as we do the business of play! We

welcome your input any way you’d like to provide

it….social media, email, phone or in person.

INCLUSION & SPECIALIZED RECREATION

Clayton Parks and Recreation welcomes the participation

of all individuals, including those with disabilities or

approach means that individuals with and without

disabilities can participate together. In compliance with

the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), we provide

reasonable modifications to facilitate involvement in our

programs. We request that modification requests are

In addition to inclusive programs, we offer specialized

recreation programs which are designed to meet the
