STAFF REPORT <br />TO:Parks & Recreation Commission <br />FROM:Sierra Hietala, Recreation Coordinator <br />DATE:January 28, 2022 <br />RE:Recreation Updates <br />ACTION REQUESTED <br />Informational Update. No action requested. <br />BACKGROUND <br />Spring/Summer Activity Registration: Registration for Spring/Summer Activities opened on <br />February 1. So far one of two Adult Pickleball groups have filled, and both Defensive Driver’s <br />courses. Due to the popularity of Defensive Drivers staff has added two summer classes as well <br />which will be on July 11 and 12. <br />Sunset & Snowshoes: The City has created another snowshoe event, Sunset and Snowshoes! This <br />free, self-guided event takes place on March 4 from 5:30-6:30 PM at Spooner Park. Participants <br />can enjoy a beautiful sunset, s’mores, and hot chocolate before or after their hike. <br />5K Sap Run: City Staff is working hard on registration for the 2022 5K Sap Run, which will take <br />place May 7 at Lake Gervais. Updates will be posted on the 5K Sap Run Facebook Event page <br />and the City’s website. The volunteer signup sheet can be found below, just scan the QR code! <br />Please make a note of the times if you plan on signing up for two slots since some timeslots <br />overlap. <br />2021 Shelter Rentals: The City had numerous shelter rentals last year in 2021 in both Spooner <br />and Pioneer Park, as well as the Old Fire Hall. These facilities were rented out 105 times from <br />January 1 to December 31. There are currently 71 shelter rentals scheduled for the 2022 season. <br />With the completion of the Spooner Park Lower Shelter, Staff is excited to hopefully see an <br />increase in rentals compared to 2021!
