Parks, Recreation and Landscape Commission at their public meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 25.

The city’s Parks, Recreation and Landscape Commission held their last public meeting of the year last week

During the meeting, the commission discussed progress on the mural being added to the WestPA.net building. The mural was collaborated on with a local artist as well as students from the Warren County School District. The commission is set to receive the finished design in the next few weeks.

They also discussed preparations for the end of fall and beginning of winter.

The remainder of leaves were to be collected across the city just before the snowfall on Friday.

“We are working dark to dark this week trying to get them all picked up,” said City Arborist Joe Reinke.

City Manager Mike Holtz said they are hoping to see grants for Mulberry Park in 2026. Mulberry is currently one of the few parks in Warren that has not received any renovations in the last ten years. Holtz said a $1 million grant has been requested and, if received, $400,000 would need to be allocated to drainage in the park.

The commission will have no December meeting and has moved their January meeting to Thursday, Jan. 29.
