TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />Park and Recreation Commission <br /> <br />Michele Bergh, Recreation Manager <br /> <br />March 10, 2003 <br /> <br />Recreation Department Update for March <br /> <br />We have many programs and activities coming to an end and ones that are just beginning. <br />Here are some updates on a few. <br /> <br />ICE RINKS <br /> Handke Stadium <br /> · Open 12/27/02 to 2/17/03 <br /> · 4-9pm on school days <br /> · 1-gpm on weekends and non- <br /> school days <br /> · Average number of <br /> participants per shift- 50 <br /> · Total number of participants <br /> for the season - 2366 <br /> <br />Lions Park <br />· Open 12/27/02 to 2/2/03* <br />· 4-9pm on school days <br />· 1-9pm on weekends and non- <br /> school days <br />· Average number of <br /> participants per shift- 10 <br />· Total number of participants <br /> for the season - 733 <br /> <br />*Many nights were very slow and with budget concerns, we closed early for the season at <br />this site. The lights for the park were put on timers so this allowed those who wanted to <br />skate/sled light until 9pm every night and picnic tables under the shelter were used for <br />seating. <br /> <br />FITNESS INSTRUCTOR TRAINING <br />We provided a small training class for those interested in becoming a group fitness instructor <br />in January. This opportunity also gave us additional staff for our U Pass program. We will <br />be offering a group fitness certification program at the beginning of April with a nahonally <br />known organization as well as a yoga certification program in May with another nationally <br />known organization. Hosting these trainings allows us to certify our staff- some at no <br />charge and some at a reduced fee and potentially links us to new staff people. <br /> <br /> <br />
