The City of Carrollton will hold a ribbon cutting ceremony at Rhoton Park under the pavilion on Saturday, December 9 from 4 to 6 p.m. to recognize the improvements made to the Park benefitting not just the surrounding neighborhood, but the entire community.

In addition to the pavilion dedication, guests will get a chance to meet City staff and hear from Councilmembers. There will be hot chocolate and cookies, holiday arts and crafts, caroling and story time, a visit from Santa Claus, and a riding toy train.

In the spirit of the giving season, event attendees are being asked to bring a book for donation to the Little Free Library in the Park. Members of the Carrollton Police Department and Carrollton Fire Rescue will also be on hand to visit with residents.

The improvements to Rhoton Park are the final stages of the N.O.T.I.C.E. (Neighborhood-Oriented Targeted Infrastructure & Code Enforcement) Project in the area. The goal of N.O.T.I.C.E. is to foster a greater sense of neighborhood pride and promote the emergence of healthier, sustainable neighborhoods.
