or disc golf players out on the course fairways.Noland takes great pride in how the turf
and plant material look at the park and if he sees a problem he immediately addresses it.
Noland is always eager to learn new things as he has golf course background. He is
learning more about ornamental plants and trees.Noland has been instrumental in
preparing Riverview Park and the Activities Center to look its best aesthetic appearance
for the annual Peach Jam basketball tournament.
