Parks and Rec department releases new handbook

The Mountain Brook Parks and Recreation department released its newest handbook available to city residents on Monday.

Parks and Recreation Superintendent Shanda Williams said she delivered the new handbooks, complete with all new information, to several city offices this morning. The newly updated handbook, said Williams, was a necessary one.

“The old version was a bit outdated,” she said. “The previous superintendent has since retired, we added Cahaba River Walk to our park offerings and [we] have a new building address. All of that information needed to be updated.”

The handbook, approximately 30 pages in all, contains information on each of the city’s parks and length totals for all of the walking trails, as well as park rules and rental information. Also included are an assortment of maps of the trails, parks and complexes that outline parking spots, bus stops and playground locations.

The handbooks are available for free at City Hall, the Chamber of Commerce and the Parks and Recreation offices, said Williams. Online copies are available at mtnbrook.org under the Parks and Recreation tab.
