Melrose Mt. Hood Park Association Sponsors its “Senior Day at the Park” Event

Myron Dittmer, president of the Mt. Hood Park Association, is happy to announce that the Association’s annual “Senior Day at the Park” event will be held at clubhouse at Mount Hood Memorial Park & Golf Course on Tuesday, May 12^th from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm. Come join us at beautiful Mount Hood and enjoy the day inside the beautiful and rustic setting of the clubhouse. There is no charge for this event! This event will occur – rain or shine!

This year promises to be another exciting event where attendees can learn about local environmental activities in our area. We have two speakers planned, William DeConstant, will discuss the efforts of Sagamore Golf, Inc., the management firm currently running Mount Hood Golf Course, who are striving to make Mount Hood one of few Audubon Certified Sanctuary golf courses in the state. Our other speaker is Annie Harris from the Essex National Heritage Commission, which have since 1996 championed the heritage development of Essex County by fostering public-private partnerships that preserve and enhance the significant aspects of the region’s history, cultural heritage, and character.

Lunch and refreshments will be served, and later attendees will travel up to the 4-story Slayton Tower, the highest point in the park, to experience the panoramic view of the area including the mountains of New Hampshire, Revere Beach, and the Boston skyline.
