    DEPARTMENT of PARKS AND RECREATION PARKS, RECREATION AND TRAILS MASTER PLAN 2010 Last updated in November 2017 “Parks are a cherished resource for Sandpoint residents and outdoor recreation plays an important role in residents’ lives. The goals and policies in this plan seek to increase access to those existing parks, provide for more parks and create viable, multimodal connections between neighborhood parks. All participants in the planning process wanted nearby, accessible parks, recognizing the recreational, social and natural opportunities such features provide. Given the City’s prominent location on one of the region’s most beautiful lakes, goals in this plan support increased public access to the shoreline in the form of parks and trail systems, and an overall growth pattern respecting the importance of Lake Pend Oreille as a public space.” – Sandpoint Comprehensive Plan 2009 CITY OF SANDPOINT 1123 Lake Street Sandpoint, ID 83864 T 208.263.3613 F 208.263.3678 [email protected] www.cityofsandpoint.com ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Special Thanks We would like to thank the many citizens, staff and community groups who provided extensive input for the development of the Parks, Recreation and Trails Master Plan.

    Hyde Park Library News – April 2019 Acclaimed Singer

    HYDE PARK LIBRARY NEWS – APRIL 2019 ACCLAIMED SINGER-SONGWRITER JOINED BY GRAMMY WINNING INSTRUMENTALIST FOR LIBRARY APPEARANCE April 12, 2019 Dear Hyde Park Library Patrons, Upstate singer-songwriter Marc Berger's evocation of the American West culminated in his acclaimed 2012 release RIDE. His compositions from that record and from his work since "echo the stark, evocative songs of Springsteen's Nebraska, the cinematic tone of Mark Knopfler and the Lone Star alt-country charms of Guy Clark and Townes Van Zant" (Direct Current). Marc has performed at Austin's South X Southwest and the Kerrville and Falcon Ridge Folk Festivals and has opened shows for Bob Dylan and other several national acts. His song "The Last One” was a staple of Richie Havens' concerts. His acclaimed album RIDE is a collection of songs all having to do with the romance of the American West. The release has gotten national airplay and terrific reviews--and was licensed by Starbucks for worldwide in-store airplay. The concert will combine a performance of RIDE with stories about his experiences as an easterner in the mountain and desert west. He will be joined by Grammy winning producer/musician Steve Addabbo on guitar. Additional Commentary of Marc Berger and RIDE: (“Reads like a love letter to the American West.....brims with pure plucky-folk that the likes of The Civil Wars, The Lumineers, and even Norah Jones are bringing to the forefront of popular music....a sad reminder of simpler times that most modern Americans will never experience nor appreciate.....one part Springsteen and one part Dylan, but with pure charisma that is all Berger" (Jayvee, TRT!
