Grand Opening
Set for Bish Discovery Center
Another chapter in the success of your Darke County Parks is about to
begin. The grand opening of the Bish Discovery will take place on
Sunday, July 22 at 1pm. The new discovery center is located at
404 N. Ohio Street in Greenville.
Prior to the start of the day’s activities, the Friends of Darke County
Parks have pre-sold chicken dinner tickets. Don’t forget, if
you’ve already purchased tickets, to pick-up your dinner from
11:30a-1:00p. There will be drinks available for sale and picnic style
seating if you’d like to enjoy your chicken dinner at the park. A
very limited number of dinners will be available for purchase that day
or you’re welcome to pack a picnic and bring it along.
At 1pm, everyone is invited to attend this free event which kicks
off with keynote speaker, Sarah Hippensteel-Hall Ph.D. Ms. Hall,
who works with the Miami Conservancy District, will be presenting
“Water: It’s Time to Make it Personal.” Following the keynote
speaker and opening ceremony, activities will take place from
1:30-3:30pm. Visitors can take the opportunity to borrow
bikes and hop on the adjacent trail, try canoeing or kayaking on the
creek, explore aquaponics, the pollinator habitat and the community
gardens. Participants may tour the building, interact with staff
and park commissioners and also take part in a recycling
activity.
Darke County Parks’ staff, volunteers and board members are thrilled to
see this venture come to fruition. The Bish Discovery Center will
be a gathering place for our community and school children to learn,
discover and recreate. We hope you will join us for this exciting
way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
