Hiking, Biking & Boating PLACES TO LAUNCH YOUR BOAT
Binder Lake Boat Ramp The Binder Lake boat ramp sports a “rougher” texture that eliminates slipping on the moss during the summer. The ramp is at a greater pitch which makes loading and unloading much easier. Missouri River Access The river has always been right in our back yard. Now it is easily accessible! The Carl R. Noren Missouri River Access, located in North Jefferson Recreation Area, is open from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Park Improvements 5
Scheduled Park Improvements: • • •

• • •
Continue improvements to the new 18 hole disc golf course at Binder Park. Project made possible with the help of the Jefferson City Disc Golf Club. For more information about the Jefferson City Disc Golf Club and the development of the new course, visit www.jeffersoncitydiscgolfclub.appspot.com or like them on Facebook. The McClung Park playground is scheduled to be replaced in the fall of 2015. Design work is complete on the next phase of the Oak Hills Golf Center Masterplan. The renovation of hole #9 is underway and has been slowed by the extremely wet spring and summer. Plans are to shorten the hole to a par 3 which includes a new, larger green complex, expand existing back tees, construct a new forward tee, add new cart path and increase the size of the retention pond. New hole #9 is scheduled to open summer 2016. Final plans are scheduled to be completed late summer to renovate Ellis-Porter Riverside swimming pool. First priority is to replace aging infrastructure and water filtration systems and address meeting current commercial swimming pool ADA standards. Other new amenities might be added to the plans, if budget allows. The newly renovated pool is scheduled to be ready for the 2016 season opening date. Improvements are underway in the North Jefferson Recreation Area. Scheduled work includes adding a new outdoor shelter, restroom facility and walking trails in the Quigg Commons. Other plans include extending the trail system along the riverfront near the Noren Access. Design is complete to add a restroom facility at Community Park. Construction is tentatively scheduled to begin fall 2015. Plans are underway to transform two lower tennis courts adjacent to the Washington Park skate park into instructional/youth tennis and outdoor pickleball courts. Work is scheduled to begin fall 2015.
Coming Soon! Green Berry Acres Neighborhood Park
GREENWAY TRAIL EXPANSION • •
Design and planning is underway to build Phase II of the Frog Hollow Greenway Trail extension. Phase II will extend the existing trail across the creek, via a low water crossing, to just west of the Hwy 179 overpass. Work is scheduled for the summer of 2015. Better access to the West Edgewood Drive Recreation Area has been made possible with the rehabilitation and installation of a pedestrian/bicycle bridge over Frog Hollow branch of Wears Creek. The new bridge will connect the greenway trail at the West Edgewood Drive parking lot and the 3.1 miles mountain bike and hiking trails located in the West Edgewood Drive Recreation Area. Project made possible through a generous donation from the Jefferson City Host Lions Club and a Land and Water Conservation Fund outdoor recreation grant.

Things You Should Know 30 Jefferson City Parks & Recreation Foundation Jefferson City is home to an award winning Parks and Recreation Department. As the capital city of Missouri, maintaining our local parks and recreation facilities and implementing programs to meet the ever changing needs of our community and its visitors is a challenge. The Jefferson City Parks and Recreation Foundation strives to provide additional resources to leverage taxes, fees and grants to enhance our parks and recreation services. Over the years, civic minded individuals and organizations have maintained a tradition of enhancing the quality of life for their families, friends, and neighbors through generous donations to the Jefferson City Parks and Recreation system. In 1992, the Jefferson City Parks and Recreation Foundation was formed to provide continuing leadership and foster the expansion of parks and recreation services in Jefferson City. The Foundation’s goal is to emphasize the value of parks and recreation - both passive and active - not only for individual growth and development, but also for a strong family unit and for making our community a more desirable place to live, work, play and visit. If you believe, as we do, that wholesome recreation pursuits make individuals more productive in their homes and communities and lead to a healthier and happier life, please commit your support to the Jefferson City Parks and Recreation Foundation. Land, trees, fountains, benches, shelters, activity fees for youth programs are all gifts that can make a difference in people’s lives. Any and all size of gifts to our community are appreciated and contribute to the livability and quality of life of Jefferson City. For more information on how you can make a tax deductible contribution of land, money, or other gifts, please contact the Foundation’s Executive Director William Lockwood at 634-6482.
Equal Opportunity
Sponsorships
As a recipient of federal funds from the U.S. Department of the Interior, the Jefferson City Parks and Recreation Commission and the Jefferson City Department of Parks and Recreation operates programs subject to the nondiscrimination requirements of Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Under Title VI, the U.S. Department of the Interior strictly prohibits discrimination because of race, color, or national origin in its federally assisted programs. Any person who believes he or she has been discriminated against in any program or facility of the Jefferson City Department of Parks and Recreation, or desires further information regarding Title VI, should write immediately to: The Office for Equal Opportunity U.S. Department of Interior Office of the Secretary Washington, D.C. 20240
The Parks and Recreation Commission believes that no youth should be denied access to Parks and Recreation programs for financial reasons. The Parks and Recreation Foundation makes recreation sponsorships available to those who otherwise would not be able to afford to participate in organized recreation activities. Those seeking sponsorships will be asked to complete a Recreation Sponsorship Application Form available through the Department of Parks and Recreation. Sponsorships are generally limited to those receiving benefits from a form of public assistance as designated on the application form. Sponsorship funding is limited to $200 per individual per calendar year and is restricted to ongoing programs conducted by Parks and Recreation staff. Specialized programs of short duration conducted by non-staff members (e.g. baseball clinics) are ineligible for sponsorship funding. All application forms requesting funding for youth programs must be signed by the parent/guardian of the prospective participant. Participants/parents must pay a minimum of 20% of the registration fee for programs for which sponsorship assistance is requested. Questions concerning this service may be directed to Phil Stiles at 634-6482.
Bleeding Policy In any Parks and Recreation program, a participant who is bleeding or who has blood on his/her clothing shall be prohibited from participating further in the activity until appropriate treatment has been administered. Appropriate treatment may include bandaging as necessary to prevent recurrence. This policy has been implemented to protect the participants, coaches, staff, and their families from diseases transported through the accidental contact of tainted blood. If medical care is needed, the participant must leave the activity until the problem situation has been resolved. A 70% isopropyl alcohol solution must be used to disinfect the skin and clothing. All infected areas must be thoroughly cleaned before this individual is allowed to continue participating in the activity. This may require that the player remove affected clothing and replace it in order to be able to continue participating. All participants should bring an extra shirt, pair of pants/shorts, and socks to each activity to change into in the event a blood incident should occur.
The views of any program or activity advertised within this guide and sponsored by any organization other than the Jefferson City Parks and Recreation Department do not necessarily reflect the views of the Jefferson City Parks and Recreation Department.
