Mullins City Council praises rec center improvements | SCNOW.com

Mullins City Administrator Kenneth Davis and recreation department director Allen Floyd were happy to share news about new activity going on at the 12-acre park that houses football, soccer, tennis, softball and baseball programs throughout the year.

Miles Community Center, which has become the de facto home of council meetings since April?s fire damaged portions of Mullins City Hall, is undergoing fresh painting and carpet installation as well as the construction of a picnic shelter.

Davis said improvement plans for the 12-acre park include the recent installation of four new bleachers, equipped with a safety panel to prevent children from falling through the highest point of the seating.

Councilwoman Jo Sanders invited the public to check out the new upgrades at the facility. ?They look wonderful,? she said. ?The recreation center itself looks wonderful.?

Floyd expressed pride in the city?s 12-year-old and under baseball team winning the state tournament.

Winners of five straight games in the tournament, Floyd called the run a historic feat deserving of a resolution of appreciation from council.

?This is the biggest accomplishment I can remember in Mullins recreation,? he said.

Turning attention to fall sports, Floyd said children interested in soccer, football and cheerleading can register now. The department is hosting a football coaching clinic Saturday for volunteer coaches and children interested in playing this season. Floyd said the clinic will involve instruction from local high school coaches.

In other business, longtime Councilman Wayne Collins announced that he will not seek re-election for the District 5 seat after 22 years of service. Collins said his reasons for stepping down are to spend more time with his family and focus on his health.
