On behalf of the City Council, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the City of Twin Falls.

Spring is definitely here and summer will soon follow. Living in Idaho most of my life, snow does not bother me; I know that warmer weather is the reward for getting through the cold season. Working as a D.A.R.E. Officer and a school resource officer for the City of Twin Falls, and as the former executive director of the Boys and Girls Club of Magic Valley, I know the importance of children participating in recreation programs and enjoying the many parks that Twin Falls has to offer.

Essential to my vision as Mayor, is a healthy and active community. For those of you who enjoy competitive sports, the City of Twin Falls Parks and Recreation manages many adult and youth recreation programs, such as; volleyball, basketball, flag football, and softball, as well as a variety of other leisure activities.

If you’re not seeking competitive play, I encourage you to learn all you can about the importance of diet and exercise and visit one of our world-class parks. Trail systems throughout the city provide ample opportunities for walking, bicycling, jogging, or just relaxing.

The leadership of Twin Falls believes that recreation is essential to our quality of life. We invite you to join us today and begin seeing the endless opportunities we have to offer.
