Parks are an important part of a community.

The Parks Committee is working with Mr. Dennis Ulrey of Management Planning Solutions, to develop a parks maintenance plan and a long rang development plan.

 

Mr. Ulrey has developed a questionnaire (see below) that residents can respond to.  Please email responses to volovillage@villageofvolo.com.

 

Also, Bulldog Youth Sports is planning to use the south field at Village Hall for a practice field again this year, July through November.

 

Thank you.
