PROPERTY TRANSITION – PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT

Two Metro Parks and nine other city properties will become incorporated into The Parklands of Floyds Fork, the nearly 4,000-acre new parks system being created and managed by 21st Century Parks. Through a management agreement with Metro Parks, the operations and maintenance of these properties will transition to 21st Century Parks on January 1.
