The Taylorville Park District met on Monday evening for their monthly board meeting at the Manners Park Dining Hall at 7 PM. Newly elected board members were inducted. Recreational Director Bailey Hancock informed the board that preliminary conversations have led to the first meeting of a skateboard committee that would bring a skateboard park to Taylorville including Mayor Bruce Barry, the Park District, and many other people.
Money of course, is a concern as the skateboard park could cost upwards of $300,000.
The board will be looking into building a park bench memorial for Jim Curtner, who passed away, at the golf course. Hancock gave an update on the progress on the pool saying that the first inspections were going to be underway this week.
Hancock says they are still looking for lifeguards for the pool for this summer.
