As we look ahead to summer activities, I want to take a quick look back too. What a year it has been for our community. The Bend Park and Recreation District team has continued to provide parks, trails and recreation experiences throughout the pandemic – sometimes in new, different ways, and in others it was a consistency that brought stability when so much was changing elsewhere. To pivot our service to the community, we provided a new crucial all-day childcare for 700 students in distance learning at school. The Team Up program was a lifeline for working families and was created in less than a month with long-time partner Bend-La Pine Schools. Two-thirds of families in the program received scholarship funds, reducing financial barriers to provide access to the program. When most indoor activities were closed, getting outside for exercise and fresh air was a much- needed respite. Trail use was up an average of 38% across trail counters between 2019 and 2020. Two main trails that connect to thousands of acres of federal land had an 85% increase and a 59% increase – nearly 66,000 more trips – over the 2019 total. The high use in 2020 definitely tells us that close-to-home outdoor opportunities were more important than ever. When the public health situation improved and indoor fitness activities resumed, we were able to open the doors at Larkspur Community Center in early April. The facility will meet the community’s growing needs across all age groups, including active older adults who have a variety of interests and desires for fitness, recreation and social activities. Currently social activities for older adults are limited to comply with state-mandated health guidance, but in the months ahead a comprehensive offering, including the social activities that older adults have enjoyed for years, will meet the full goals for the facility. Like you, we’ve gained more experience being flexible and adjusting to what is beyond our control. This Playbook is an important step toward returning to what we relied upon before 2020. As you and your family seek activities in “Summer is always sports, art, fitness, enrichment, child care and others, your health and safety continue to be our priorities. I invite you to explore program offerings, the best of what including the summer camp finder! might be.” Best, Charles Bowden, author Don Horton, Executive Director [email protected] Register at register.bendparksandrec.org • Summer Camp Finder on pages 16 - 18 • Location/park lists on pages 58 - 61 All activities follow current health and safety requirements.
