| HIST | New director plans to build on predecessor's goals Parnell shares his thoughts on now leading Recreation, Parks Department Phil Parnell is becoming the new director for the Sumter County Department of Recreation and Parks where he will oversee soccer, football, basketball, baseball and soft ball programs. KEITH GEDAMKE / THE SUMTER ITEM Posted Saturday, March 19, 2016 6:00 am BY ADRIENNE SARVIS ADRIENNE@THEITEM.COM Phil Parnell, the new director of Sumter County Recreation and Parks Department, said county residents can expect the same family atmosphere as well as look forward to new activities and improvements to sporting facilities this year. Parnell started his career with Sumter County in August 1993 when he was hired as the athletic director. "Sports was my passion. It's where I kind of laid my foundation," he said. Parnell was later promoted to assistant recreation director and accepted his new title as director of the Recreation and Parks Department on Jan. 1 after the retirement of former director Rose Ford. Parnell said he was drawn to the department because of his desire to work with the community. Throughout his time with the department, Parnell has learned every aspect of the department. He said becoming assistant director opened his eyes to the entire program, including activities at the community centers and parks. Parnell also witnessed firsthand the many improvements made to the county's recreational facilities and parks and the construction of several community centers throughout the years. "We've definitely come a long way," he said. Parnell said the improvements have made it possible for Sumter County to host large sporting events such as the South Carolina Dixie Youth Ozone State Tournament for both baseball and softball and the Annual American Double Dutch League World Invitational Championship. Now that he is director, Parnell said he looks forward to continuing what his predecessors have done. Parnell's goals include starting lacrosse and girls volleyball programs for the youth. He also looks forward to the completion of the disc golf course at Dillon Park. He said more renovations and upgrades, including the construction of a new gym at the recreation and parks office and renovations to the building, are planned to be complete during the next two years through the Penny for Progress initiative. Parnell said he has always considered the recreation and parks department as a big family. "I definitely want to keep that tradition," he said. "I am proud of the staff we have and the job they do."
