Message from the Director,
Welcome to the Parks & Recreation Department’s Summer 2016 program brochure.
It’s time for some summer fun! Enjoy yourself! Make time to learn a new hobby,
exercise or just relax. The value of recreation includes fun and enjoyment, learning
new skills, developing new interests, gaining new knowledge of people, places and
ideas and developing friendly relationships with others. A message for all ages, don’t
stop playing because you are growing old…We grow old because we stop
playing. Inside this brochure discover the variety of programs that are offered to you
and your family and the benefits of recreating. Kudos to Kenny Michaels for another
fabulous brochure!

Twilight Tunes Six Concert Series and Frisbee Disc Dog Competition revs up starting
Wednesday evenings on the parade groundsin front of Town Hall July 6 kicking off
the summer will be the Coyote River Band look inside for complete schedule.
Project updates include the renovation of the Moran Baseball field on Hope Hill
Rd. project includes regrading entire field, new back stop, improved dugouts and
protective fencing project will commence in the fall of 2016. Also, with all land

5023.300 Gentle Yoga Outside
Studies have shown human happiness is
increased immediately when we connect
with nature. In the absence of music we
can appreciate more fully the sounds
around us when we are outside. Listen
for the sound of animals, the breeze in
the trees, and even the sounds of people
talking, or plane flying overhead. When
you turn your senses outward during
practice and tune into nature you exhaust
the senses and are prepared to turn them
inward come time for savasana.
