Perhaps someday this will be happening on Pinehurst Hill.

A public meeting on Oct. 10 launched the first public discussions of what to do with Pinehurst Park, if anything. While no plans are laid yet, Parks and Recreation Director Phil Fieber outlined some ideas of adding hockey rinks, improving the sledding hill and possibly adding trails for biking, cross country skiing and hiking in the woods behind that. At the public input meeting, some expressed concerns over the cost of the project, but Fieber said much of what they were looking to do could come from partnerships with local groups or businesses and not necessarily from taxpayer dollars. The planning is still in very preliminary stages, so this is somthing to follow through the next year.

The Pinhurst Project is a local group pushing for the revitalization. You can follow their efforts on Facebook and on their website.
