The state of Point Roberts Park and Recreation District is good. This summer, the latest upgrade to the community center septic system has finally made it possible for the kitchen to be used by community members for all sorts of purposes.
Thanks to the energy and motivation of our park and recreation administrator Dee Gough, other improvements are now being made all over the community center – you can now plug in a coffee maker without blowing a circuit. The many community groups, local markets and even the pickleball enthusiasts will benefit from these upgrades.
The park district took the lead with the fire district, water district and Trinity Lutheran Community Church to secure a Climate Commitment Act grant from the commerce department to assess the suitability of our public buildings for solar energy and battery back-up systems and the final reports will be coming soon.
The park district also received generous grants from the commerce department and Puget Sound Energy to install EV charging stations at the community center. We are still waiting to see if project quotes will make this financially feasible. At Baker Field Park, grounds manager Bill Knowles with help from volunteers has cleaned up around the old skate park and made a dent in a multi-year effort to rid the park of invasive Scotch Broom.
The recent Halloween party was a great success. Get ready for the upcoming community holiday party and next year, the Point Roberts Prom.
