We would also like to thank our business sponsors that helped support such events as; Rogue Credit Union Movies in the Park and Family Fun Nights, State Farm – Summer Concert Series and Litha Auto Group for the activities at Pear Blossom Park. I would also like to recognize the work of the Medford Parks and Recreation Foundation. This non-profit has been providing financial support for scholarships and park improvements since 2005. Through the organizations efforts in the past year, the department received a $20,105 grant to provide scholarships for Medford children to attend programs. This funding will provide for over 500 youth to participate in swim and tennis lessons as well as opportunities to attend our day camp programs. Since 2005, the Medford Parks and Recreation Foundation has provided nearly $165,000 to help with program registration assistance. Please feel free to visit: www.medfordparksfoundation.org in order to see how you may assist this group. The 2016 Leisure Services Plan is complete and this document provides a “road map” for the department to follow over the next decade. As you probably know, addressing a need for an indoor aquatic center is high on the list of identified projects. Over the next few months, staff will be working with the Parks & Recreation Commission and City Council to develop a funding plan that could utilize existing revenues to cover the cost of construction. This would not require additional property taxes. We hope to have a final recommendation on the type of facility and funding plan to present to the Council and community by early 2017. Mission Statement Creating Healthy Lives, Happy People and a Strong Community. Vision We provide a system of attractive, safe, clean, accessible, interconnected parks throughout the city and coordinate a variety of passive and active recreational activities. MEDFORD PARKS & RECREATION: CAPRA ACCREDITED CAPRA accreditation assures the general public, policy makers and taxpayers that MPRD delivers a high level of quality and operates in accordance with industry standards of excellence. The City of Medford is only the second parks and recreation agency in Oregon and just the 109th in the country to earn the prestigious distinction. CAPRA certification is valid for five years. Benefits of going through the certification process are: • Formalization of operational procedures. • Creation or discovery of operational efficiencies. • Sharpening of the department’s focus on how to address community needs. • Augmentation of funding solicitation and justification.
