Page 2: Fall 2011 Recreator

The Greenfield community recently celebrated the opening of a newly renovated CommunityCenter on Saturday, July 9, 2011. The center, at 7215 W. Coldspirng Road, which was theformer library was built in 1985. After almost 5 months, the City’s Community Center renovation is complete.

The new renovations transformed the interier into a lighter, brighter, more open concept.Not only is it aesthetically pleasing, but it’s also energy efficient. Spaces were designed toprovide a modern and inviting environment — featuring a warm color scheme, new blinds,lighting and flooring. Updates include new tile in the foyer and restrooms, a full kitchenwith plenty of counter space, cabinets and new appliances (two refrigerators, dishwasherand stove). To give the initial first look at the newly renovated center, refacing of the exteriorwas done, which prompted new landscaping at the site as well.

The Greenfield Community Center will play an important role in the community, providingvital affordable services, activities and programs for families in Greenfield offered by theCity of Greenfield Department of Parks & Recreation. The new space is so welcoming and isalready making a huge difference. We can be more versatile with the programs we offer,provide a better space environment for all ages, and offer a wider variety of activities.

Please keep in mind that all funding for the Greenfield Community Center must be self-sustaining...utilities, upkeep and furnishings relies solely on donations and the support ofthe community sponsors and through active participants and rentals.

The Community Center is now available for renting out the larger multi-purpose room‘Jansen Fest Hall”, and Activity Rooms A & B, which can be separated with a built in divider.Both areas, the muti-purpose room and Activity Room A has access to the ‘Sendiks’ kitchen.With the bigger parties you can open up and basically use the whole center. For rentalinformation see page 49.

Next time you're in the neighborhood, please take an opportunity to stop by theCommunity Center and check out the recently completed renovation project.

We hope you like the new look.

Two ladies started the business in one of theirkitchens; but the scent of the candles mingling with food preparation was not desirable, sothey moved the business to the basement. Soon they outgrew the basement so they rent-ed a hangar at the airport – then another hanger – and another – and by that time wereable to purchase and renovate it into the business they now occupy. Before departingWatertown, we’re in for another aroma…coffee! We’ll stop at Berres Brothers Coffee andhave a chance to sample some coffee as well as take some home!

Learning to swim happens by spending time in both swim lessons and by water explo-ration through play. By enrolling your child in our Learn to Swim Program (swim lessons), you will automatically be enrolled, at no additional cost, inour Family Open Swim during the two week time period of class. You and your child can come to the pool during our Open Swim times this ses-sion to have fun while providing time for them to practice and develop their skills. We have seen many children only coming to the pool for swimlessons who are losing out on the enjoyment of just being at the pool and the water learning that comes from it. The swim staff hope that youwill take advantage of special deal to help your child while spending valuable family time together at the pool.

In 2006, Bi-Centennial Park (51st & Layton, near the Law Enforcement Center and NEW Library) officially became a Citypark. As part of our 50th Celebration Legacy Project, a fountain was placed in the park as a centerpiece. Other park features include flag-poles and a stone marker, all framed by a beautiful garden and landscaping. The outer area surrounding the fountain will be paved with bricks, providing you a unique opportunity to make a lasting mark to:

• Commemorate your family’s place in Greenfield History • Remember a loved one• Honor a family member, friend or associate • Recognize an achievement• Celebrate a special occasion/event • Promote your business

The bricks are engraved using a laser process that will penetrate, melt and crystallize the clay brick, resulting in a permanent engraving.
