Director of Chapel Hill Parks and Recreation Phillip Fleischmann speaks with two community members at the Homestead Aquatic Center in Chapel Hill on Tuesday, Feb. 11, 2020. Fleischmann said that, because he grew up in Raleigh and has family in the triangle area, he was very excited to get back to the area. “I was eager to come back to a place that I believed valued parks and greenspace and also community recreation,” Fleischmann said. “It is an honor and a privilege to serve all of you.”
