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.
MOUNTAIN BIKING If you are a mountain bike enthusiast, check out the 15 miles of trail throughout Binder Park and the two miles of trail near the West Edgewood Greenway (access near the West Edgewood Drive parking lot). These trails offer fun for all ages and ability levels and are designed for non-motorized vehicles - ATV’s and motorcycles are prohibited. All the mountain bike trails are designed and maintained by a trained local volunteer club. Feel free to e-mail orta@ mchsi.com for more mountain bike trail information or volunteer opportunities. For maps visit www.jeffcitymo.org/parks/binderpark.html or www.jeffcitymo.org/parks/westedgewoodrecrecreationarea.html.

Park Improvements 5 GREENWAY TRAIL EXPANSION •
•
• •
•
In cooperation with Cole County Public Works, greenway trail extension along the new Business Hwy. 50/Apache Flats roadway improvements is complete. The 1.17 mile greenway trail runs along the north side of the roadway improvements connecting Country Club Drive to Binder Park. A series of sidewalks will connect to the greenway trail offering pedestrians safe access to local businesses, residential neighborhoods and Pioneer Trail Elementary School. The .3 mile of greenway trail along new Creek Trail Drive is now open for use. This is the first phase to construct a greenway trail loop connector from the West Edgewood Dr. parking lot, south under Hwy 179 eventually connecting back to West Edgewood Drive. The new loop will follow the Frog Hollow branch of Wears Creek. 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 will soon be 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 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. Construction of the Clay Street Trailhead Bike Plaza is complete. The new plaza is located at the intersection of Clay Street and West Main Street at the entrance to the Missouri River Bridge Pedestrian/Bicycle walkway. The new trailhead offers trail users off-street parking, water fountain, informational signage, park benches and safe access to and from the Missouri River Bridge walkway.
DID YOU KNOW? The first section of greenway trail was built from Dunklin St. to Ohio St. along Wears Creek in 1992.
Additional Scheduled Park Improvements: •

Complete new 18 hole disc golf course at Binder Park. This project was 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 summer of 2015. Design work is complete on the next phase of the Oak Hills Golf Course Master Plan - renovation of hole #9. Plans include shortening the hole to a par 3, building a new, larger green complex, expanding existing back tees, constructing a new forward tee, adding new cart path and increasing the size of the retention pond. Golf course crew will begin work late winter/early spring of 2015. Improvements are complete at the Washington Park Ice Arena. Park crews have installed a metal roof over the warming house, completed warming house ceiling, lighting and interior improvements, installed new safety flooring throughout the warming house and upgraded the HVAC system.

All you need to do is register for the coordinating weeks for Camp Out N About and morning swimming lessons at Ellis-Porter Riverside Pool (which are listed below). A counselor(s) will escort them to the lessons, stay at the pool to chaperone them and then bring them back to camp when the lessons are over. On-line registration is not available for these lessons since it will show as a conflict with Camp Out N About time frames. You will need to know your child’s skill level at the time of registration. See page 24 for swim lesson details. The following weeks of camp will coordinate with the following sessions of lessons: Week 3 & 4 camp

Private lessons are a great way for skaters of all ages to receive one on one attention. All of our instructors can assist skaters with creating programs for recitals, competitions and skating shows. This is also an excellent boost to a group lesson skater. Individual attention can improve a skater’s skills quickly for passing levels.

Things You Should Know
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.
