In this week's MT Employee Spotlight, let's get to know Harry!

Hello, I'm Harry Norton, the Adult and Family Program Manager for the Manheim Township Recreation Department. Currently, I also administer the Overlook DogPark and sports field reservations.

I love to spend time with immediate and extended family in various pursuits, visiting the beach, fishing, reading, golfing badly, and pickleball, prior to my knee surgery.

Overlook Community Campus is my favorite park because of its variety. There is so much to do and so many unique features. My dog and I stumbled across a deer one day walking past a small, wooded area.

I started my 36th year with the Township at the end of April, and providing top quality recreation opportunities has always been changing, challenging, and rewarding.

In addition to enjoying the faces and reactions of a smiling child or satisfied customer, some of the most fulfilling moments are when I encounter an adult who says "Remember me? I remember you from..." or "I worked playground for you 25 years ago - best job I ever had."

What we do impacts people's lives in ways we may never know, so always put on your best face and provide the finest service possible.

This morning these two adorable dog park characters, Tux and Fonzie, were spotted in the shade of some blooming trees, enjoying a brief rest after a lively game of fetch !

Koda Vinette and Brody Kauffman recently enjoyed a lovely spring day at the park. Brody's mom Lisa reports "They love all the shade spots in the large dog park, the water pump, and fetching ball"
They certainly appear to be enjoying this brief rest together in the shade !

The Manheim Township Recreation & Parks Planning Dept has scheduled a general meeting for Dog Park Members on Tuesday, May 10th at 6:00 PM at the MT Public Library's Morgan Center. This is an opportunity to meet and discuss all things "Dog Park". Topics of discussion will include current dog park rules, reporting procedures for incidences and problems, membership numbers, and any other issues the attendees wish to bring to our attention.
The goal is to continue to provide a safe venue for dogs to be off-leash while enjoying the benefits of exploring, socializing, and exercising through pawsitive playtime experiences.
Mark your calendars, and we hope to see many of you there!
