WELCOME OUR NEW DIRECTOR!
The staff of Burlington Parks & Recreation would like to extend a warm welcome to our new Director, Mari Steinbach, who has just relocated from Arizona to Burlington to join us!  Some words from Mari.....
Winter, followed by spring…an amazing time to reinvent, to explore, and to pursue new adventures! Never have those words been as striking to me as now, joining the community and Burlington Parks & Recreation as its new director. Leaving behind one part of the country, its resources and my connections, I am energized by the promise of a New England winter, exploring Burlington’s resources, its natural spaces, recreational pursuits, its people, and more, and I look forward to making this community our family’s home. I cannot wait to be active in Burlington’s outdoors in all seasons, and I hope you come along with us on your own seasonal adventures!  Read more of Mari's letter of introduction....or come greet her yourself!
