10/22 - Brown Street Lawn:
As a reminder, we request for everyone to please tread lightly on the lawn with family, friends and dogs...especially after it rains. The moisture loosens the soil and makes the grass roots very easy to pull out. Dogs should always be on leash and curbed, no cleats allowed, and mind any rough play that could disturb the lawn in general, but especially after rain. If we can all work together we can help preserve the lawn for us all to enjoy! Thank you!
