The Bryant Parks and Recreation Department is growing by leaps and bounds, according to director Jeremy Lemons.

“Right now, hopefully, we’ll get ready for our big tour,” he said, referring to the new community center at Bishop Park. “We are putting in the carpet on the second floor and getting on a second coat of paint. The final touches are coming at the end of this month with the community center by furnishing it with 300 chairs up there.”
