welcome FROM THE MAYOR
Welcome to Healdsburg
Parks & Recreation!
It is my pleasure to present the 2015 Spring and Summer Recreation
Program Guide. This year, the Parks and Recreation staff is bringing
you more programs than ever. The Spring/Summer season is full
of great classes, summer camps, swim lessons and special events
– there truly is something for everyone.
We are excited to announce that the Parks and Rec department has
a new tagline - “Come Out & Play!” I wanted to take a moment to personally thank all of you
who participated in selecting this new tagline. We all feel that this simple phrase sums up our
Parks and Rec perfectly and we hope it will encourage and motivate our community to come
out and enjoy all that Parks and Rec has to offer.
I am also happy to announce the City of Healdsburg Community Center garden continues to
flourish. Volunteers help plant and nurture this special garden, which is used as a learning
environment for the children in our afterschool program and camps. Not only do they learn
about planting and eating fresh fruits and vegetables, they also learn about the importance
of giving to the community. The bulk of the fresh, organic produce grown is donated to the
Healdsburg Food Pantry. Last year over 1,200 lbs of produce was donated to the Pantry.
Be sure and mark your calendars for this year’s special events! The always popular Tuesdays
in the Plaza Summer Concert series returns May 26th and our second annual Aquatic Program
Open House and Vamos a Nadar (Let’s Go Swimming) program will be held Sunday, June 7th
from 1-4 pm at the Swim Center.
And for those of you who don’t know, I’d like to take this opportunity to tell you how our
Parks and Recreation department is supported. Your Parks and Recreation Department is
supported by program fees and what's called the TOT Tax (Transient Occupancy Taxes). This
is a tax paid by our visitors staying in Healdsburg's hotels, inns and B&B's. It's a 12% tax
on each night's stay; 10% goes to support your parks, senior center, community center and
recreation programs, 2% goes to the general fund for public safety. No other tax dollars are
used to fund this department.
As always, the staff would be happy to answer any questions you may have. Call them at
431-3301, visit the City’s website at healdsburgparksandrec.org or follow us on Facebook.
I hope you have a wonderful summer!
Sincerely,
Shaun McCaf fery

INTRODUCTION TO QIGONG
AND TAI CHI FOR HEALTH AND
RELAXATION
Health is at the center of our life. Qigong
pronounced “chee gong” is all about good health.
By simply moving the body in gentle circles and
easy relaxed stretches, with balance practices and
breathing exercises, every joint and organ of the
body is massaged, stimulated and brought into
harmony. Qigong is followed by Tai Chi (taiji) 24
Form. This is a short form of slow movements
that coordinate the body and breath, right and left
balance, mindfulness. It is described as “moving
meditation” and “medicine in motion”.

PYSCHOLOGY OF
RELIGION
Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) was a Swiss
psychiatrist whose psychology centers around the
concept of individuations, the lifelong process of
awakening to our total selves, which includes the
experience of religious imagery as an expression of
the objective psyche. In this class, we will explore
Jung’s perspective on the God-image as living entity
and dynamic process and the stages in the evolution
of the Western God-image. We will also engage
in activities that invite an attitude conducive to
unlocking the unconscious to find what is waiting to
be discovered.
Instructor: Robin Gates, M.A. (Depth Psychology) is
an educator in the fields of Jungian Psychology and
Contemplative Spirituality.

about parks & recreation
WHO PAYS FOR OUR PARKS & RECREATION?
The Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) also referred to as a “bed tax” or “room tax” is a the tax
assessed to visitors staying in all lodging establishments within the city limits. This includes
hotels, motels, resorts, inns, suites and B&Bs.
The current TOT rate in Healdsburg is 12%. In 2004 voters passed a ballot measure
designating 10% of all TOT revenues to fund our Parks and Recreation. The remaining
2% goes into the General Fund to support public safety. (No other tax dollars fund this
department.) Healdsburg residents wanted to ensure there would be an ongoing funding
source for parks, recreation and open space.
Community Services
Community Services is the department within the City’s organizational structure that houses all
functions related to parks, open space, recreation and senior services. This department is set up
as an enterprise fund which means that its revenue must support its operational expenses. In
addition to TOT, Community Services obtains revenues from grants, facility rentals, program fees
and donations. There is NO General Fund subsidy to the Community Services department.
The Community Services Department provides a wide range of amenities and services to
community members:
Parks and Open Space: Healdsburg has over 220 acres of parks and open space that is operated
and maintained by Community Services. Within this acreage is Plaza Park, Healdsburg Ridge, two
dog parks, multiple playgrounds, picnic areas, a skate park and athletic fields. The Foss Creek
Pathway and other downtown green spaces are also maintained by parks staff.
Community Facilities: Among the community facilities funded by Community Services are the
Villa Chanticleer, Healdsburg Community Center and the Senior Center. Not only do these facilities
house programs, they are available to citizens and local organizations for meetings, activities and
private events.
Senior Services: The Senior Center is an activity and resource center dedicated to providing seniors
with services and programs that encourage physical and emotional well-being, connection with
others and enrichment.
Recreation Programs: These activities are designed to meet a variety of needs, interests and age
groups. Program offerings include sports, education, wellness, leisure, camps and enrichment
classes for youth and adults. Scholarships are offered for those who cannot afford the fees yet want
to participate in programs.
Special Events: The most notable event put on by Community Services is the Tuesday Concert
Series held in Plaza Park each summer. What many people do not realize is the amount of
assistance other event organizers receive from Community Services. City staff works behind the
scenes to ensure that events held in Healdsburg are safe and well-coordinated.
TOT Revenues Provide Direct Benefit to the Community
All of the TOT derived from the local lodging industry directly benefits Healdsburg residents.
TOT funds those amenities that significantly contribute to the quality of life enjoyed by
Healdsburg’s citizenry.
