Darke County Parks
Completes Digital Signage Project
Recently the Darke County Park District completed a project
incorporating technology and greener practices into its daily
operations. Through the generous support from the Ami McClurkin
Community Fund administered by the Darke County Foundation, Darke
County Parks was able to purchase a large flat screen television
equipped with software to display photos, advertise upcoming events,
and display the daily program schedule. Not only does this project save
physical resources, but because it can be updated from an office PC, it
also is much less labor intensive requiring far fewer staff hours to
keep up to date, freeing up more time for educational pursuits.
The Nature Center has over 50,000 visitor occasions each year, and all
of those visitors use the digital display every day that the park
offices are open to stay informed about daily programming and upcoming
special events. The Darke County Park District would like to thank the
Ami McClurkin Community Fund and the Darke County Foundation for their
generous support to make this project come to fruition.
