Well, everyone is entitled to a little relaxation every now and again. So, Friday, I decided to take a 1/2 day off and enjoy the Jamestown Park Golf Course. The course is in great condition, given the fact that the Triad experienced (and is still in) a severe drought over the past year or so. Kudos to Jay Gardner, Course Superintendent and his staff for keeping our golf course one of the most beautiful in the area...and on a municipal budget, too!
No...that is not me...this is stock imagery that the Town used on the golf course's website at http://www.jamestownparkgolf.com/. I would encourage everyone to visit the website and the Park itself. We offer a driving range, picnic shelters, ball fields, tennis courts, soccer fields, and there's even a clubhouse grill where you can grab a bite to eat. We even have pros on stall that would be happy to give lessons to those (like me) who may need a "tweak" here and there. **This makes an EXCELLENT gift for Mother's or Father's Day...or for any occasion!** As you can see, there are opportunities for the entire family at Jamestown Park!
Adjacent to the golf course is the Bicentennial Greenway trail, which runs from the Piedmont Environmental Center north to Gibson Park. This is a paved trail which is great for walking, biking, or running. Guilford County, the City of High Point, the City of Greensboro and the Town of Jamestown are currently working on methods to connect these points of interest with greenway trails. In fact, Guilford County residents will have the chance to vote on May 6th for a Parks & Recreation Bond which would assist in completing portions of the greenway trail network, as well as other projects throughout the county. You can read more about it in the brochure below.
It was a beautiful day...and by the looks of the parking lot, everyone else decided it was an excellent time for golf as well. Having just begun to take up the sport, I have had the chance to play several other courses in the area and I am continually impressed with Jamestown's layout and the course conditions. I won't talk about what I scored...but I'm working on those issues a little at a time.

As you can see, we offer a LOT of recreational opportunities in the Town of Jamestown and we are continually working on ways to bring more to our citizens. Stay tuned for more on this soon!
So, get out there and enjoy our beautiful spring weather and try out our Parks! If you have suggestions or comments, feel free to post them here, email me at mjohnson@jamestown-nc.us or call 336.454.1138.
