Tom Windish represented the Parks Commission at the Workshop and <br />provided an update on discussion. At the workshop, discussions had included what <br />Hugo has to be proud of. The Parks Commission agreed that they have been actively <br />building community identity for several years with forward thinking in developing quality <br />parks which give residents a great place to live and play. Hugo has a huge youth <br />population and the services (schools, programs, etc) to support families. Hugo has <br />partnered with the school districts and sports organizations to build community-based <br />programs and has been transitioning to offering recreation programs for several years. <br />A sense of community will build from within- people want to be here and are proud and <br />happy with what Hugo has to offer. <br />
