FLTON – Director of Fulton City Parks and Recreation, Chris Waldron, recently joined a Fulton Sunrise Rotary meeting recently to talk about the path that brought the city native back to Fulton and into the directorship position.
In the meeting, Waldron said he has always loved activities that bring people together. So he set his sights on pursuing a degree in Recreation and Leisure Studies. After graduation he worked in other cities, but when the opportunity arose last October, he moved back and joined the Fulton Parks Department.
After assessing the positive opportunities available in the Fulton community, Waldron began to explore new areas that might excite and engage Fulton residents. A community committee including representatives from the city, Fulton Public Library, CYO, YMCA and the Fulton Alliance Church have been bringing ideas to the table and several new activities are now in the planning.
