Nat’l Night Out: Tuesday, Aug. 4 , 7:00-9:00pm (see more information below)
NO NEW FENCE at Prospectors Ridge Park (next to Georgia O’Keefe Elementary School)
From Tony Sparks, APS Facilities:
“I have confirmed that Prospectors Ridge Park adjacent to Georgia O’Keeffe ES is City property, and APS will not be fencing off any portion of it. Also, I learned that where we have actual Joint Use Agreements with the City, those parks are closed off to the public during the school day, but re-open to the public on afternoons and weekends. Only fields within the actual boundaries of a school campus are not available for public use.”
