Roanoke City is calling it the largest investment in Parks and Recreation maintenance in the past two decades – $2.3 million allocated in 2019 is about to be put to use. About two dozen parks and greenways will get new signage, turf, scoreboards, rehabbed tennis courts, water fountains and much more. Work won’t get underway until the projects go out for bid and outside contractors are lined up. Parks and Rec. director Michael Clark on what they heard about at public feedback sessions:
