The Greenville Area Leisure Services Association (GALSA) was formed
in 1948 by resolution by the Greenville Borough, the Greenville Area
School District and the Northern Mercer County United Way. For
60
years GALSA has been the provider of recreational programming,
activities and special events for the Greenville community and its
service area while maintaining and operating the Borough’s park
system.
GALSA is governed by a nine-member Board of Directors which consists
of three (3) members of the Greenville Borough Council and six (6)
members at large. The Board recommends changes and/or improvements
to GALSA’s overall operation while working closely with its
Executive Director in developing facilities, strategy, and
long-range planning.
GALSA publishes four (4) seasonal brochures that outlines recreational
opportunities throughout the year. All of GALSA’s programs are
available to children and youth through senior citizens for a
nominal registration fee. The brochure is distributed to the Jamestown,
Commodore Perry, Reynolds, Greenville, and St. Michael’s school
districts and is available at a number of local businesses in the
Northern Mercer County Area.
Some of GALSA’s special events include its annual Kids Carnival, a
5K/2-Mile Walk, an Olympic and Sprint Trial Triathlon, the NFL Punt,
Pass, and Kick Competition, Annual Craft Show, Oktoberfest,
Daddy/Daughter Date Night, and the famous ‘Go Jump in the Lake
Incident’ fundraiser in February.
GALSA also has a number affiliate sports and leisure programs that
it manages. They are the Greenville Area Soccer Association (GASA),
Greenville Area Ladies Softball (GALS), the Greater Greenville Men’s
Softball Association (GGMSA), the Greenville Memorial Swimming Pool
(GMSP), and The Erie Extension Canal Museum (CM). |
