Recreational Activities Registration Report 2. Senior Center Attendance Report RECOMMENDATION: Receive Report. FINANCIAL STATEMENT: None. DESCRIPTION: The Parks and Community Services Department develops and implements quality programs that strengthen community image, provide recreational experiences, and encourages healthy lifestyles. This is accomplished by providing innovative and popular recreation, social and cultural programs in the areas of family services, preschool, teens, sports, special events, leisure activities and classes, seniors, and aquatics. Following is a summary of programs conducted during the fall of 2013. RECREATIONAL AND LEISURE ACTIVITIES Recreational and leisure activities are classes and activities that serve participants of all ages and provide positive recreational experiences. By participating in these classes, community members are given the opportunity to enhance their health, wellbeing, and community connection. Classes provide opportunities to learn a new craft or refine current skills, as well as provide a venue to meet others in the community and recreate with friends. Recreational and leisure activities are planned and implemented by contracted specialty instructors. Popular classes for youth included Karate, Game Design, Tech Builders App Design, and Parent & Me Gymnastics, and Pee Wee Playtime. Popular adult classes included Zumba, Pilates, Bombay Jam, and Yoga. A total of 428 participants registered for recreational activities in 64 classes held during the fall session. There was a decrease in total registration participation of approximately 20% from last year, which can be attributed to fewer participants in the Zumba series. Although this activity continues to be in high-demand, the overall registrations are lower than last fall. Attachment 1 is a detailed registration report.
