Carmel, IN – Mayor Jim Brainard has

“We are all proud of our award winning parks here in Carmel.
As a city, we are unique in the fact that we have the
opportunity to create our parks from designated parkland
whereas other cities have older, already established parks.
I am excited to have such a creative and experienced
individual to fill this vacancy, and I feel fortunate that
Josh is willing to dedicate his time and effort to making
our parks wonderful and unique places we can all enjoy,”
said Jim Brainard.
Joshua Kirsh is currently an EMT/Fire Fighter at the Cicero
