MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR: JOHN GAWLAK, CPRP
We are looking ahead looking ahead to Spring 2015! This spring marks our 18th year at the
Fairfield Blvd location WOW! We have many great program opportunities awaiting you and all
members of your family! Some exciting new bus tours lie ahead for you as well as our fitness
center rooms packed with a program schedule to keep you on track with your fitness routine!
If you’re just getting started or are a seasoned fitness participant call our main office and ask
for Kelli Montgomery our Health Fitness Supervisor to discuss you needs and interests.
Speaking of Kelli we at the Recreation Department would like to Spotlight a major
achievement in her fitness career and are proud to announce that in October 2014 Kelli
competed in the Xterra World Championships in Maui, Hawaii and finished FIRST out of 28
competitors in the Female 40-44yr group to win the World Championship. The event includes
a 1mile rough water swim, 20 mile mountain bike ride and a 6 mile trail run like a rollercoaster
ride through pineapple fields and forests. Congrats Kelli on your World Championship!
The Recreation Department and its Parks & Recreation Commission are working continually to
bring to you this year some exciting park improvements. Each of the pavilions over the last two
years have been receiving new and improved picnic tables as we cycle out older wooden
tables and reuse at other locations.
1. Kendrick Park Project including Meghan’s Walk phase one is almost complete with the
installation of the basketball court this spring as the final piece and then on to planning and
fundraising for phase two which includes a multi play structure for ages 5 to 12.
2. Vietnam Vets Parking Operational and Safety Enhancement Project is about 80% complete
with the paving of areas left to finish this spring. This project will provide an increase of upper
parking lot +35 cars, a pedestrian walk way, wider culvert and traffic turn around at the
southern end of the parking lot.
3. The Dog Park off of Quinnipiac St. has been cleared and as of this writing the fencing will be
installed shortly leaving only the paving/striping of the parking area and signage as the final
items to get this park operational my guess would be late spring. Thanks to DPW and the WDLA
for their continued support and efforts in making this project real.
4. The Legacy Gardens at Wallace Park work is all complete with the planting of the garden to
be done by the Wallingford Garden Club (THANK YOU) this spring. The Recreation Commission
is now finalizing the application process for civic organizations that would like to gain approval
to be admitted to be a part of the Legacy Garden at Wallace Park.
5. Doolittle Park hard ball field backstop is being replaced with a new installed backstop as of
this writing. In addition this spring, for the families utilizing the playground you will see the new
25’x25’ shade structure installed. Finally, the Wharton Brook Riparian Buffer was cleared out and
weeded this past December and a plan for maintenance is in discussion.
6. Harrison Park little league field backstop is getting a new backstop installed this January.
7. Pragemann Park will be receiving an expanded parking lot for 41 cars in January and
February as weather permits.
8. West Side Eagles Memorial Park Baseball/Football Field is slated for a total makeover starting
this August. The project includes new/improved drainage, irrigation, sod and some fencing. The
park will be closed for baseball and football for almost up to a year. I appreciate the efforts made
of all of the youth leagues making accommodations for the leagues temporarily without fields.
We look forward to another fun-filled season of activities and continuing to provide you with
the best recreational opportunities designed to enrich the lives of you and your family! If you
have suggestions, or there are programs you would like to see added, please
let us know!
Thank you for your continued patronage!
All the best ~ John Gawlak

WHAT IS CROSSFIT?
CrossFit is the principal strength and
conditioning program for many
police academies and tactical
operations teams, military special
operations units, champion martial
artists, and hundreds of other elite
and professional athletes
worldwide. It is also being
implemented in nursing homes, preschools and physical therapy…..if
you fit somewhere in between it
can probably help you. Our
program delivers a fitness by
design, broad, general and
inclusive. Our specialty is not
specializing. Combat, survival,
many sports, and life reward this
kind of fitness and on average,
punish the specialist. The CrossFit
program is designed for universal
scalability making it the perfect
application for any committed
individual regardless of experience.
We’ve used our same routines for
elderly individuals with heart
disease and cage fighters one
month out from televised bouts.
We scale load and intensity; we
don’t change programs. The need
of Olympic athletes and out
grandparents differ by degree not
kind. Our soldiers, skiers, mountain
bike riders and housewives have
found their best fitness from the
same regimen. – Courtesy of
CrossFit Inc.

&(203) 294-2120
Our children live in a hurry up world of
busy parents, school pressures, incessant
lessons, video games, malls, and
competitive sports. WE usually don’t
think of these influences as stress for our
kids, but often they are. The bustling
pace of our children’s lives can have a
profound effect on their innate joy and
usually not for the better. Yoga can
help counter these pressures. Yoga at
an early age encourages self esteem
and body awareness with physical
activity that’s non competitive. Fostering cooperation and compassion
instead of opposition is a great gift to
give children. Doing yoga, children
exercise, play, connect more deeply
with the inner self, and develop an
intimate relationship with the natural
world that surrounds them. This program
will help preschool teachers and
parents bring that marvelous inner light
that all children have to the surface. For more information check www.
yogajournal.com. Bring along your
yoga mat for fun!

Certificates of attendance will be
provided for those requiring them.
The Music & Movement workshop invites
preschool teachers to learn how they
can incorporate musical experiences
into their early childhood classrooms.
Learn how to create musical
experiences that promote the
development of a child’s competence
in tonality and rhythm, while supporting
cognitive, language, emotional, social
and physical development. Through
interactive songs, games and discussion,
teachers will gain a better understanding
of what they can do to help young
children learn musically. Teachers come
away with ideas for musical activities,
movements and songs which can be
immediately used in the classrooms.
