To The
Citizens
Dear Friends and Neighbors:
It seems like yesterday that summer was beginning but as the children start back to school it is a sure sign that summer has come
and gone in rapid fashion. As the cool morning breezes approach and the color of leaves change amongst the trees and mountains,
it gives us great reason to be excited about the fall season in the New River Valley. This is the perfect time to enjoy the recreational
adventures that the Town of Christiansburg has to offer! The Christiansburg Parks and Recreation Department exists to promote
and implement leisure programs and services that enhance the quality of life for all ages. In partnership with the community, we
strive to deliver quality leisure programs in a personal, effective and successful manner. We serve you, the citizens of Christiansburg
and our visiting neighbors, to provide a positive relationship while growing and building our special community.
As you read through the brochure, you will find many recreational opportunities available that will provide quality experiences for
you and your family. Reaching your specific recreational goals can be made possible through the many opportunities that are
available. We offer many outdoor recreational adventures from seeing the football flying through the air, to enjoying family time at
our outdoor parks and playgrounds, to witnessing the sights and sounds of nature’s beauty while walking along the newly extended
Huckleberry Trail. As the weather turns cooler, you might prefer to meet your recreational needs in an indoor setting, look no
further than the Christiansburg Recreation Center. You can become actively fit with many community fitness programs, or decrease
your stress while playing a friendly game of racquetball. Is developing a healthy lifestyle on your agenda? If so, please take
advantage of our various educational classes and health screenings. Exercise is a very important part of a healthy lifestyle so be sure
to exercise in our cardiovascular and weight rooms or simply take a nice stroll on the 1/8 mile indoor track. Are you over the age of
50? Come and enjoy our seniors lounge, billiards room and covered patio. There are many Senior Center-specific activities and
events for you to become involved in.
Looking for some exciting fall events? Please join us at the ghostly gathering for games and goodies at the Ghoul’s Gathering in the
Christiansburg Recreation Center. This evening will be filled with many exciting festivities and everyone’s favorite costume. Come
be a part of our Annual Christmas Parade and get an early sighting of Santa as he takes a break from his workshop to join the parade
and ride a Fire Engine in downtown Christiansburg.
I am excited to be spending this fall session here with you, in the Town of Christiansburg. I would like to thank the citizens of
Christiansburg for their participation in the development of the Parks and Recreation Master Plan. I look forward to accomplishing
the recreational goals and addressing the needs of the community based upon recommendations of the master plan. We plan to
maintain the recreational opportunities that are currently in place while also looking at the recommendations of the master plan so
that we can better serve you and enhance your recreational experiences. I look forward to working with each of you to provide a
positive relationship while growing and building our special community. Christiansburg is truly a progressive small town living at its
best.
Best wishes to each of you for a cool and colorful fall season.
Sincerely yours,
Brad Epperley

LIGHTNING POLICY
Due to the significant risks and possibility of fatal injury from lightning strikes, it is imperative the Christiansburg Department of
Parks and Recreation have a clear policy on how to deal with lightning in and around the areas of practice and / or competition. This
policy will help to clearly state the department's position on this issue and help to define roles of certain individuals during the
decision making process. The coaching and support staff’s primary responsibility is for the safety and concern of the participants.
The following plan will be in effect for all Christiansburg Department of Parks and Recreation youth and adult athletic events,
including practices and special events:
Depending on the event being played the Youth Athletic or Adult Athletic Supervisor, Game Field Supervisor or Coach will monitor
the weather. This will be done through the use of the DTN Weather Sentry Lightning and Storm detector (if equipped) or by the
Flash-to Bang Method.
In the event of threatening or inclement weather the Youth Athletic or Adult Athletic Supervisor, Game Field Supervisor or Coach
will inform the participants and spectators either through the public address system or any other means available of impending
severe weather.
GENERAL POLICY: A member of the Christiansburg Department of Parks and Recreation Staff, if on site will monitor the weather
and make the decision to notify the Game Field Supervisor (during a game) or Head Coach (during practice) of dangerous situations
and recommend the suspension of activity in the event of lightning. Exceptions will be made for any activity where a Christiansburg
Department of Parks and Recreation or Game Field Supervisor is not in attendance, whereby the supervising coach will have the
ability to suspend activity. The decision to suspend activity will be based on:


Any reported lightning strike on the DTN Weather Sentry Lightning/Storm Detector within the 10 mile range regardless of
the presence of visible lightning. (This device is portable and will be in the possession of the Youth Athletic or Adult Athletic
Supervisor, Game Field Supervisor or Coach).
Utilization of the Flash-to-Bang Method (Count the seconds from the time the lightning is sighted to when the clap of
thunder is heard. Divide this number by five to obtain how far away, in miles, the lightning is occurring.) If it reveals
lightning to be within 10 miles (a 50 second count between the flash of lightning and the bang of thunder) activity is to be
suspended and everyone should seek shelter immediately.
ANNOUNCEMENT OF SUSPENSION OF ACTIVITY: Once it is determined that there is a danger of inclement weather, the Youth
Athletic or Adult Athletic Supervisor will notify the Game Field Supervisor (during a game). The Head Coach (during practice) should
immediately request the removal of all players, coaches, from the playing field when receiving text message on any reported
lightning strike on the DTN Weather Sentry Lightning/Storm Detector within the 10 mile range. If DTN Weather Sentry
Lightning/Storm Detector is not available revert to using the Flash-to-Bang Method. The coaches’ primary responsibility is for the
safety and concern of the participants.
EVACUATION OF THE PLAYING FIELD AND STANDS: Immediately following the public address announcement (if available) of
suspension of play, all players, coaches, officials, support personnel and spectators are to evacuate the facility to their vehicles, bus.
Participants and spectators should be advised that we do not consider the areas under the (Picnic shelters' or bathrooms) at Kiwanis
Park) or dugouts to be safe in the case of lightning. All parties will be urged to remain in a safe location until conditions improve
unless otherwise notified by appropriate representatives.
RETURN TO PLAY: Play will be resumed 30 minutes following the last lightning strike. The last lightning strike will be determined by
either the detection system or visual confirmation. The 30 minute time frame will immediately start over with each additional
lightning strike.
All coaches that would like to receive information on our weather system or would like to get text messages on storms and
lightning in the area for practices and games should contact Chuck Muncy at (540) 382–2349.
