Parks & Recreation
My goal as the Recreation Director of Orange City is to provide our citizens with a wide range of activities. Â The type of activities that we are offer will hopefully be activities that can connect people in the community, as well as create life long interest in these activities. Â We want to create beautiful parks, and high quality programming that can benefit not only our community, Â but to people new to the area or that are from the surrounding area.
