We don't always set the trends, but caring about what comes next for Leland’s parks is pretty hot right now! 🌳 The Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan community survey is still open, and if you live within Town limits, we’d love to hear what you think before it closes Sept. 14. Your feedback will help guide future decisions about parks, trails, open space, recreation programs, and other amenities across Leland. A few minutes of your time now can help guide years of park planning. Take the survey today using the 🔗 in the comments below!

We’re sending a well-earned congratulations Tyler’s way! 👏 Tyler Barth, a construction engineer with the Town, recently earned his SCM Inspection & Maintenance Certification.
