Presidents LetteR

It’s hard to believe that summer and fall came and went so quickly here at AHPD. We loved seeing so many of you enjoying the pools, community centers, parks and events during summer and fall. Staff works hard year-round to provide the best programs and offerings for you and your family so just because it’s getting colder out, the fun never stops at AHPD.

We hope that we will see you at festive holiday special events, skating at the outdoor ice rinks, racing down the sled hills in the colder months and enjoying the parks, courts and playgrounds in the spring.

We are excited to share that several capital projects have been completed including refinishing the Forest View outdoor tennis courts, path replacement at Nickol Knoll Golf Club and replacement of the basketball court at Prairie Park. In 2023, we are looking forward to completing additional capital projects such as shorline restoration at Arlington Lakes Golf Club and playground replacement at Sunset Ridge.
