LETTER FROM THE DIRECTORGreetings Airway Heights Community,Now that the weather is finally showing signs of cooling off, there is still so much to look forward to this fall season.In today's hectic world, it's easy to forget that taking time to enjoy each day is so important to our health and wellbeing. Parks & Recreation is committed to enhancing quality of life by helping people stay healthy and fit, build relationships with family and friends, and develop a sense of community.Our first priority when reopening during this health emergency has been responding to COVID-19 and ensuring compliance with the Department of Health’s emergency orders to slow the spread of the virus. The health emergency and resulting budget impacts has required restructuring of many of our services. As summer passes us by we are pleased with the turn out to many of our programs and classes. While many activities were canceled due to low participation, we understand the apprehension and will continue to bring new and exciting recreational opportunities to our community members when they are ready to return. We are excited to bring back more activities and events this fall that were missed in 2020 such as, Airway Heights Day, Splashing Pumpkins, Trunk or Treat, and our annual WinterFest. With a change in the air and a break from the heat, what better way is there to enjoy the beauty of fall than to be out enjoying some of the recreational opportunities that Airway Heights Parks & Recreation has to offer? We are happy to report that we are finishing up on the updates to Landreth Park. The turf areas have been upgraded from dry land grasses to a higher quality turf grass. We are anticipating the delivery of fitness trail equipment that will be installed along the pathway along with the addition of much needed benches and trash receptacles. In October, we will be completing this phase of the improvements by partnering with the Spokane Conservation District to replace a large number of the trees that have died over the years. We will continue to work to bring back essential staff roles that were eliminated due to the budget impacts from the pandemic. This will allow us to continue to bring back all of the programs and amenities that improve the physical, mental, and social health that the community has grown to appreciate. Airway Heights Parks and Recreation has a lot of exciting things coming up over the next few months and we are confident there is a program, park, or activity for you and your family to enjoy!Thank you for your continued patience during this unprecedented time.

J.C. Kenned!

Parks & Recreation Director

We are always looking for friendly and motivated individuals to join our amazing team.

AHPR ACTIVITY GUIDE | FALL/WINTER 2021!

PARKS & RECREATION MASTER PLAN RESULTS

Over the last year and a half the Parks & Recreation Department has collected public input through an online survey that will steer the direction of the department for the next 6 Years. The completion of this process maintains the City's eligibility to apply for grant programs offered by the State. The survey assisted in determining the existing needs and future demands for parks and recreational opportunities in Airway Heights. The following were the notable trends gleaned from the survey:• Residents rated paved pathways and trails as the highest

priority for the community and also placed a high value on making landscape improvements to existing pathways and trails.

• Residents feel that Playgrounds and Picnic areas are a high priority.

• Residents support more Adult Fitness/Wellness, Youth Sports & Camps, and Special Events and would like to see a balance between establishing new recreation programs & enhancing existing programming.

• Residents would like to see more linkages between park & recreational facilities, as well as amenity improvements to existing facilities.

• Residents support the creation of a Dog Park. As part of the update, the Department also conducted an assessment of the current conditions of our existing parks. This information along, with the survey results, was utilized to form a list of Capital Improvement Projects the Department will prioritize over the next six years.Airway Heights Parks & Recreation would like to thank everyone that completed the survey. Without your input we wouldn’t be able to set the course of action and fulfill the needs and wishes of the community now and into the future.

SERVE THE COMMUNITY: BE A KIWANIAN

The Airway Heights Kiwanis Club is looking for new members that want to volunteer their time to serving the kids and families in our community. So what is Kiwanis? Kiwanis is the safety net that creates opportunities for children to be safe and healthy regardless of the community in which they live. Kiwanis strives to create a community that believes in children, nurtures them, and provides the support they need to thrive. Who are Kiwanis Members? They're people like you: residents, business partners, and retirees. All members are volunteers who want to make a difference and love to see the difference they can make when working together.What are the benefits of joining Kiwanis? Well, study after study shows that volunteering with a service group like Kiwanis does more than make people feel good. Volunteering enhances social networks, improves mental health, and contributes to higher levels of happiness, self-esteem, self-worth, and life satisfaction. Volunteers develop life skills and leadership abilities that can help in a number of areas in an individual's life.For more club information or to attend the next meeting email: [email protected]

ADVENTURE HEIGHTS SEEKS SUMMER FUN

Another summer has wrapped for our Adventure Heights Day Camp. This season was challenged by what has become seasonal smoke and haze, and an extended wave of the extreme heat. Amidst it all we are thankful that we were still able to provide a fun and exciting environment for our participants.One main reason we were able to provide this program with memorable experiences and activities that kept our participants engaged, is a grant that we received from the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI). OSPI received federal funding and partnered with the Washington Recreation and Park Association (WRPA) and the Association of Washington Cities (AWC) to administer a Summer Experiences and Enrichment for Kids (SEEK) grant opportunity. The focus of the grant was to expand opportunities to get kids outdoors and help families with more affordable recreational opportunities. Airway Heights Parks and Recreation received $50,000 in grant funding that enabled us to provide significantly reduced registration fees for families, and also supported the purchase of equipment and materials to expand the program activities. Even though this year’s funding wasn’t made available until later in the summer, we made the most of it in August filling the program roster and exploring all day fun and excitement with field trips, games, and more. This year's funding also helped us set ourselves and future participants up for great summer programming to come. This Fall, applications can be submitted for a second round of funding for next summer allowing us to plan and market for next summer and open this opportunity to more of the families that we can serve next summer. We would like to thank all of the families that entrusted us with the care of their children this summer and look forward to being able to offer a better program that more families will be able to take advantage of next summer.

AH PARKS & REC PARTNERS WITH VANTA ESPORTS LEAGUESAirway Heights Parks and Recreation is partnering with Vanta Leagues to offer Esports for our community.

M# Rec Stor#

TJ COCHRANAt the beginning of March , I was looking into the mirror at a man who was in the worst place he’s been health wise, in his life. Tipping scales at the heaviest I’ve ever been, diabetic, and fully medication dependent. Wanting change but not knowing where to start, a friend invited me to Airway Heights Rec Center and I immediately knew this was the place to start. I signed up that day and began the journey. Early on, I met Jared and talked about training and he set me up with Zecheriah and we got to work. Zecheriah took the time to go over nutrition planning as well as good exercise habits. 3.5 months later, I’m no longer within a diabetic range, I’m down almost 50 pounds, and have a great support group around me to keep me moving forward!! Without the support of the Rec Center and Zecheriah, who knows where I’d be today! This place is home!
