RENSSELAER â Thanks to the friends and family of Jeff Goad, Rensselaer Parks program director Heather Hall will see a vision become reality with the construction of the Jeff Goad Healthy Youth Parks Education Recreation (HYPER) Center for Education at Brookside Park this summer.
The permanent education center will allow Hall to host classes for arts, gardening, STEM learning and healthy food preparation in a safe indoor environment that protects participants from the outside elements.
âWe offer five camps in the summer,â Hall said, âbut we should be able to grow that quite a bit.
âI would like to see us offer more year-round programs at the park and this will help us get there.â
DEMOTTE, Ind. â Two eye-catching public works of art will be coming to DeMotte this summer.
