Mission Statement:
Logansport Parks & Recreation is

our natural heritage and by creating

for now and future generations.
LOGANSPORT PARKS &
RECREATION BOARD
President, Chico Rodriguez; Vice President, Terry
Doran; Secretary, Jim Plew; Member, Beth Myers;
Member & School Board Representative, Cyle Dibble
ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF - L-R: John Hiatt, Maintenance
Superintendent; Vicki Ward, Activities Director; Janet
Fawley, Parks Administrator; Kathy Scott, Administrative
Assistant; Dean Vietti, Golf Course Manager
The Logansport Parks Department is looking for some committed volunteers this summer. Volunteers
or a lack of them, will be the one element these next few years that can determine our success within
the community. We understand how hard it is to commit to time away from your family and your home,
so we hope we’re making it easy for you when you’re in the parks this summer.
We would like to hear from interested persons and community groups to help us in three different areas:
Minor League takes place in the summer each year at Tower Park. If your child is participating in
that program, we are simply asking that parents that attend to watch their child, help us at the dugouts.
It’s a simple job that helps keep the kids inside the dugout & ready to play when the time comes. The
financial crisis has forced us to hire fewer staff persons for this program, and the help will be greatly
appreciated.
Playground Parents is a new volunteer program which enlists parents to help the parks
department keep the playground clean and ready for the children. We hope that parents who take their
children to the playground will perform the following tasks as a Playground Parent:
• Attend a training session;
• Visit a specified playground 1x/week;
• Check-in with Parks office while visiting park or online after visit;
• Pick up trash on playground;
• Monitor and report playground equipment’s condition; report when playground is vandalized with
graffiti or play equipment is not working properly;
• Count playground visitors as requested;
• In the event of an emergency, contact Police.
Adopt-A-Spot is a program that your entire family can be involved in. It’s your opportunity to help
beautify the parks at landscaped locations that need additional attention. Adopt-A-Spot volunteers do
the following:
• Sign an agreement for 1, 2, or 3 year period;
• Attend a training session;
• Provide labor for ADOPT-A-SPOT location
• Provide materials, flowers, and shrubbery for ADOPT-A-SPOT location
• Regularly maintain ADOPT-A-SPOT location by adding seasonal flowers, and removing undesirable
vegetative materials (weeds).
• Dispose of trash & “yard waste” using methods required by the City of Logansport.
• Check –in with Parks Department by phone or online to notify of work completed, and time spent.
We hope that you want to help us be good stewards of your parks. Your volunteer time will help
us with that. Those that have questions should contact me at the Parks office at Riverside Park. We
welcome your help and hope that it fits into your family activities. We look forward to continuing our joint
efforts to be good stewards of our programs and facilities in the Logansport Parks.
Have a wonderful summer in your Logansport Parks!

Fridays are available as make-up days when weather causes a class to be cancelled.
Registration forms are available at the Benjamin Long Recreation Center, 101 N. Cicott Street. Also,

limited number of racquets are available to be borrowed from the Parks Dept. Students are generally

What is
QuickStart Tennis?
QuickStart Tennis is an exciting new
play format for learning tennis. It is
designed to bring kids into the game
by utilizing specialized equipment,
shorter court dimensions, and
modified scoring, all tailored to age
and size. It’s the fast, fun way to
get kids into tennis--and keep them
playing.
“I’m very excited about the Quick Start
Program. This will provide young players
the opportunity to play actual matches
in a way that is ideal to help them learn
the game. Other sports have modified
versions of their game for younger
players- now, tennis does too. After a
short time, young players will experience
tennis the way experienced players do.”

Locations for
great walks

uninterrupted by any street crossings. Though it has no lighting of its own,
ambient light from downtown is enough for evening users. The entire length
of the trail and the upper Plaza is accessible to the disabled. Handicap
accessibility is available via the parking lot at the south end of Fifth Street.
Walking distance from east parking lot to trails end and back: .93 miles.
• Spencer Park provides a circular driveway of .48 miles of walking
distance for those that appreciate a regular walking routine. It’s especially
beneficial to parents that would like to let their children play at one of two
wonderful playgrounds located at Spencer Park.
• Riverside Park also provides a circular driveway of .74 miles of walking
distance along the Eel River. Walkers are cautioned to walk against traffic
since Riverside Drive is considered a residential street.
• Dykeman Park offers a quiet and peaceful walk along the 167 acre Golf
Course. Walkers are encouraged to park at the west end of the lane by the
pavilions. Walking distance from west parking to front gate and back: 1.6
miles.
• Fairview Park provides Southsiders a place to create their own circular
walkway. By utilizing Kloenne Street, Biddle Street’s sidewalk, and Sam
Tocco Lane walkers can give themselves a walking regime of .30 miles each
time they walk.
• River Bluff Trail along the Eel River is owned and operated by the
Memorial Hospital Foundation. It’s 1.3 miles of elevated, paved surface trail
make it ideal for anyone that wishes to ramp up their walking routine. Its
entire length is also uninterrupted by any street crossings. Though it has
no lighting of its own, ambient light is enough for evening users. The entire
length of the trail is accessible to the disabled. Handicap accessibility is
available via the parking lot off Davis Road or Michigan Avenue.
• France Park, located 4 miles west of Logansport on US 24 West is
owned and operated by the Cass County Parks Department. France Park is
home to 7-9 miles of hiking trails throughout it’s 510 acres. Trails are wide
and open and are available to hikers and mountain bikers. Contact France
Park at 753-2928 for maps and further information.
• Not enough? Volunteers are currently working to connect and extend the
Little Turtle Waterway Trail and the River Bluff Trail. This new trail will run
along the Eel River and is called the Eel River Run Trail. Grants have been
awarded and the engineering work is being done. Look for construction to
begin sometime in 2010.

skills to become a better player. The program covers every area of the golf swing from the
teeing ground to the putting green. The program has been very successful in years past and
participation is limited, so make plans in advance to attend. A limited number of golf clubs are
available to be borrowed from the Parks Department. Students are generally responsible for
