Seymour Lake Twp. Park will be home to the New Oxford Senior
Center as well as OCTV Offices.
Construction on the new facilities recently began and is expected to be
completed in the Spring of 2019. The
Oxford Twp. Parks & Recreation Department was instrumental in bringing both
facilities to the park. By adjoining the
two new facilities to the current parks & recreation administrative offices
and community room, thousands of tax dollars were saved immediately and in the
future. The new senior center will be
administered full-time by the parks and recreation staff and will provide
countless recreational and educational opportunities. The staff will program both active and
leisurely programs for our area seniors. In addition to programs the center
will offer educational classes, health and wellness events and senior
networking events.
OCTV will own its building saving thousands of tax dollars
in rental fees. The once completed facility
will provide a production studio, editing room, control center, garage and
administrative offices. Its location
will lend numerous opportunities for volunteering and partnership programs with
both our seniors and parks and recreation department. It’s an example of two local departments
working together saving valuable tax dollars and providing quality customer
service to its residents.
BOND IN MOTION UPDATE
The parks and recreation department has been tremendously busy in
fulfilling its promise to complete as many "Bond in Motion" projects
in 2018.
Seymour Lake Township
Park Unfortunately, due to
construction of the “New Oxford Senior Center & OCTV (Oxford Cable TV)
Offices” at Seymour Lake Township Park, the "New" outdoor skating
rink, sledding hill, warming center, concession building and picnic shelter
will not be constructed before the winter season.
Stony Lake Township
Park When the park opened in the Spring of 2018,
users were greeted with a new asphalt road, parking lot, boat launch and ADA
improvements including sidewalks and picnic areas. In addition, all three
picnic pavilions received new roofs and paint. The beach front underwent
improvements providing new seating and sunbathing areas. The beachfront
drainage system was also re-engineered ensuring guests safety and saving
valuable maintenance resources and funds.
Powell Lake Township
Park The "New" observation/fishing deck was
completed earlier this summer. The new ADA accessible park amenity is
accessible from the Polly Ann Trail and will provide leisure opportunities for
all ages and abilities for many years. In addition to the observation/fishing
deck, all boardwalks within the park were replaced. Next year, the park projects
that will be completed include a "New" ADA playground, picnic
pavilion and sidewalks.
Oakwood Lake Township
Park This winter a “New”
Observation/Fishing Deck will be constructed on Rossman Lake with in Oakwood
Twp. Lake Park. The amenity will mirror
that of the Powell Lake structure and will offer countless opportunities for
fishing and leisurely activities for all ages.
