The Summit Hill Recreation Commission has two events scheduled on Saturday - a gardening program for youngsters and an Easter Egg Hunt.

The gardening program is from 10 a.m. to noon in the Hilltop Community Center for children of all ages.

Kathy Gieniec, chairman of the Recreation Commission, said advance registration can be made with Recreation Commission members or participants can show up at the door.

The gardening program will be conducted every two weeks with plots available at the Summit Hill Heritage Center. The first session will be with seedlings.

The Easter Egg Hunt is in Ludlow Park starting at 1 p.m. There is no sign-up required.

The hunt will be for four age groups: 0-3, 4-6, 7-9 and 10 and over.

Gieniec gave a report on Recreation Commission activities during a meeting of Summit Hill Borough Council this week. Also involved in the discussion was council member Karen Ruzicka, chairman of the council’s Recreation Commission.

Other items discussed:

• The council will look into installing outdoor pickleball courts near the Little League field off North Elm Street. Presently pickleball is held in the Hilltop Community Center. Gieniec said the twice-weekly event is very well attended.

• The borough also plans to add sealer to the basketball courts at North Elm Street and those along Amidon Street.

• New mulch will be added to various playgrounds. There will be dirt added to the digger section of the Bill Black Park.

• Ruzicka said when the borough built a salt shed and borough garage next to Ginder Field, it was determined by the Pa. Land and Water Conservation Fund that recreation land was used. As a result, the borough must replace that recreation acreage.

Council President David Wargo referred the matter to a committee. An effort will be made to lease property from a neighboring coal mining firm for additional recreation space. Such additional land could potentially be used for a dog park or parking, officials said.

The borough also must purchase and install signs for various parks where Land and Water Conservation Fund funding was used for improvements, acknowledging the funding source.
