The grass planted last spring is finally taking at the Knoxville Recreation Center. Rec Center Director Brandon Nemmers says that it they’ll begin using the new Rec Center Grounds this fall for a couple different programs. He says they want to limit the use as the grass continues to take. The open field on the south side of the Rec Center was part of their grounds project that was otherwise completed in spring of 2012. The grass struggled to grow last summer due to the drought and has been replanted.
