DID YOU KNOW...
PROMOTING HEALTH & WELLNESS
In an effort to promote health, wellness, and a better quality of life for its citizens and
visitors, the town of Skowhegan and the Parks & Recreation Department have
designated all facilities as tobacco-free zones.
The Town of Skowhegan Selectmen approved and adopted the resolution to promote
health and wellness at their May 28, 2002 meeting. The initiative was a collaborative
effort between the Parks & Recreation Department, Healthy Maine Partnership,
Somerset Heart Health, and the Town of Skowhegan. The environment in which we
live plays a critical role in supporting healthy behaviors. Young people who observe
adults using tobacco at recreational facilities are more likely to perceive tobacco as a
normal part of adult life. Tobacco use is inconsistent with the goals of recreation; to
promote healthy, active, family recreation. Second-hand smoke contains toxins, is a
cancer-causing agent, and is a known contributor to heart disease.
Our goal at the Parks & Recreation Department is to promote no smoking
at our facilities, to eliminate exposure to second-hand smoke, and to reduce
cigarette litter.
Rob Washburn was named Citizen Volunteer of the Year at the annual
Maine Recreation & Parks
Association conference in March. Later that same day he was also picked as a
recipient of the Spirit of America Foundation Tribute for community
service.
Rob has coached youth football for 29 years in
Skowhegan and has put countless hours into coaching other youth sports, leading fundraising efforts, and
positively influencing the lives young people in our
community. Thanks for all you have done and continue to do, Rob! Congratulations!

SKOWHEGAN TRAILS
Skowhegan River Trail
Debe Park &
River’s Edge Bike Park
Rebuilt in July of 2011, The Skowhegan River Trail/DeBe Park and River’s Edge Bike Park
is now a paved ADA-compliant stroll through the
woods overlooking the scenic Kennebec River
Gorge. Outdoor fitness equipment stations and
benches have been installed, is designed for any
fitness level and has the ability to provide a
full-body workout. The trailhead of the River
Trail is located on Mt. Pleasant Avenue. Those
seeking a longer hike should consider starting
downtown by crossing the walking bridge and
PHILBRICK NATURE TRAIL
The Philbrick Trail is marked by blue blazes and
loops up and around the gorges that slope down to
the Kennebec River. Some of the blazes have
weathered away, but the trail is easy to follow and is
well maintained. The trailhead is located at the end
of Joyce Street next to the Pollution Control
Department. When entering the trail, you will see
the Skowhegan River Trail to your right.
Heselton Street
Nature Trail
Forming three distinct loops, the Heselton Street
Nature Trail winds its way through a white pine
forest. Typical of many of the woods in the area, the
loamy sand soil covered with pine needles provides a
cushioned walk up and down the ravines. Bridges
and stairs have been added, which help traverse the
steeper and wetter sections of trail. The loop
closest to Heselton Street is ADA-compliant, lined
with crushed gravel. Parking and access are
available from both Heselton Street and from

The Parks & Recreation Department
and Advisory Board recognizes and
appreciates individuals who have
volunteered, sponsored, participated,
officiated and supported leisure
activities and programs throughout
the year. Cooperative efforts provide
meaningful program opportunities.
We are fortunate to have such
wonderful resources and will continue
to strive to improve the quality of life
in our community.
A photographer is selected by the Recreation
Department to take over sole responsibility of
team and individual pictures. The photographer
is responsible for all communication with
players and parents regarding pricing,
scheduling, pick up time and place, etc. Please
refer all questions to your photographer as
contact information will be provided. We
understand that photos are a great way to
capture your child in action and we will be sure
to provide you with the best possible service!
