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 2014.
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 Fun with Science and Engineering, Academic Writing and Reading:
Expository, Tiny Tot Science, Parent & Me Gymnastics, and Pee Wee Playtime. Popular adult classes
included Zumba, Pilates, Bombay Jam, and Yoga. A total of 376 participants registered for recreational
activities in 55 classes held during the fall session. There was a decrease in total registration
participation of approximately 12% from last year, which can be attributed to an increase in Heritage &
Cultural Arts classes being offered at the same time. Total registration for Heritage & Cultural Arts and
Recreation and Leisure activities has increased by 6% from last year. Attachment 1 is a detailed
registration report. The table below summarizes registration for the fall quarter:

kindergarten program in which four-year olds are eligible to participate. Following is a summary of
registration for the fall session:

"Little Lovies"Story Time
This program is a weekly story time session for age eighteen months to three-year olds. Staff fosters a
warm and caring story time environment in which each child can listen to an enhancing story, enjoy a
small craft, or simply just have fun. The program takes place on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday mornings. In 2014, participants registered for 7-8 week sessions on Mondays, Tuesdays,
Wednesdays, and/or Thursdays in place of a one day individual drop in program offered in 2013. This
allowed more residents to participate in the program and to select day(s) that best fits the child's daily
