Dear Participant, Springtime represents a season of renewal and liveliness. With increasing temperatures and daylight hours there will be more time to enjoy the outdoors whether walking one of Aurora’s trails or playing in one of our adult or youth sports leagues. There’s no doubt you’ll want to spend more quality time with family and friends in the coming year, so we’ve created a new Family Kickball league where ages 5 and up are encouraged to join in the fun. This league, along with two other youth sports leagues will be held at Red-tailed Hawk Park in order to accommodate the growing number of families in southeast Aurora. Learn more about these leagues on page 53 of this guide. One more way that Aurora PROS is helping keep you active is through our new Recreation Pass program. Buy one affordable pass and you’ll receive unlimited access to three centers; Aurora Center for Active Adults, Beck Recreation Center, and Utah Indoor Pool. Learn more about our flexible family pass options by visiting any of the centers mentioned above and get moving this spring! In good health,

Tom Barrett, Director Parks, Recreation & Open Space (PROS) The Quality of Life Department
