Board and Commission openings for 2027
Seats are open on the Environmental Advisory Committee, Personnel Board, Code Board of Appeals, Parks and Recreation Commission, and Library Board. Interested residents can contact the municipality.
Concert in the Park fireworks
The summer Concert in the Park shifts from Saturday to Friday (likely August 7) since the new fireworks crew is flexible any day. Staff hope Friday draws bigger crowds and avoids weekend youth sports conflicts — and it can revert to Saturday if it doesn't work.
Haymaker Park ball field turf upgrade
Two projects to returf and improve fields at Haymaker Park and Franklin Regional Senior High School both cleared the commission and head to council with conservation approvals as conditions.
Sardis Park Improvements Completed
Public Works finished most upgrades at Sardis Park — new playground, parking area, and a hillside swing still to come.
Disc Golf Course at Murrysville Community Park
The Parks and Rec Foundation is selling hole sponsorships ($150-$2,000) to cover disc golf signage and ongoing maintenance so the Municipality doesn't pick up the tab.
MCP ballfield conditions and tarps
Rain keeps wrecking the dirt infields at Murrysville Community Park, canceling youth games and washing away expensive infield mix. Council approved up to $10,000 for two tarps as a test, with FRAA raising a longer-term sponsorship/banners idea that conflicts with the current park advertising ordinance.
Chambers Park tennis court paving
The long-running Chambers Park project moves to tennis court paving, targeted for mid-June, with painting, fencing, and parking lot work still to come. Neighbors are frustrated with the pace.
