Department Happenings Chief Park Ranger Chris Riewe Retires Did you know that High Point is the only municipality in North Carolina that has sworn law enforcement officers as dedicated park rangers? At the end of April, High Point Parks & Recreation wished Chief Park Ranger Chris Riewe the best of luck as he retired from the City of High Point after nearly 30 years of dedicated service. His colleagues from throughout High Point and even other parts of the state, including former park rangers, retirees and even a chief he once worked for and eventually succeeded, came to celebrate the occasion at High Point City Lake Park, where Chief Riewe's City career began. Please join us in thanking Chief Chris Riewe for his commitment to safety and community!

Miracle League Skills Night So many smiles and so much fun as our Miracle League players prepared for their spring 2022 opener with Skills Night in April, generously sponsored by our friends at Planet Fitness. It's community support from our buddies, coaches, parents and businesses like Planet Fitness and our other sponsors that make it possible for our athletes to return to this "Field of Dreams" each spring and fall. Thank you to all - let's get ready to play some baseball! Miracle League provides youth, teens and young adults with disabilities the opportunity to play baseball in an organized league. To volunteer, sponsor or get more information about registering an athlete, please call High Point Parks & Recreation’s ASPIRE staff at 336.883.3477. www.highpointnc.gov/pr

Department Happenings Welcome Quanté Speight! High Point Parks & Recreation welcomes Quanté Speight, our new Recreation Supervisor! Quanté grew up in Scotland Neck, in eastern North Carolina, as a “parks and rec kid.” He earned a degree from North Carolina A&T State University in recreation administration and has a Master of Arts degree in health and physical education. He also received a Master of Science degree from Ohio University in athletic administration. As Recreation Supervisor, Quanté will be supervising all our recreation centers and their programs. He will also lead all adult and youth athletic programs and oversee outdoor athletic facilities and field rentals. “Once I understood the impact of parks and recreation on the community, I decided to study it in college and then make it my career to serve others,” said Quanté. Actually, quite a few “parks and rec kids” grow up to pursue jobs in this field of work, and we feel very fortunate to have someone with Quanté’s education and experience join our team of professionals. It’s great to have you on board, Quanté!

We're glad to have you on the team, Leigh!

Miracle League 2022 Opening Game A little late spring wind didn't keep High Point Parks & Recreation’s Miracle League athletes and volunteers from celebrating the opening game of the 2022 spring season on our "Field of Dreams!" We were honored to welcome Dr. Nathan Morelli, a new member of the High Point Parks & Recreation Commission, to throw out the ceremonial first pitch. The game ended in a tie between the Boston Red Sox and Philadelphia Phillies. Miracle League provides youth, teens and adults with disabilities the opportunity to play baseball in an organized league. The fall season begins Sept. 9, and registration begins July 25.

Department Happenings All-Star Cheerleaders Win First Place! S-U-C-C-E-S-S, that's the way you spell "success!" We are so very proud of our High Point Parks & Recreation All Star Cheerleaders, who brought home first place in the Powerhouse Spirit Nationals in Petersburg, V.A.! Congratulations also to the High Point All-Star Stunt Team, who finished second!

Oak Hollow Marina Dock Project New floating docks have been installed at Oak Hollow Marina, matching other recent installations at Festival Park and Sailboat Point. The floating docks allow for fluctuating water levels, can easily weather storms and are cost-effective.

Department Happenings Good Neighbor Award We love our community partnerships! Thank you to the Burns Hill Neighborhood Association for presenting Morehead Recreation Center with one of its "Good Neighbor Awards" at its fifteenth anniversary celebration! Morehead was recognized for hosting the Burns Hill Neighborhood Association's monthly community meetings and for collaborating with the organization on High Point's annual Youth Summit.

Oak Hollow Tennis Courts Refurbished Each spring the outdoor clay courts at Oak Hollow Tennis Center are refurbished with approximately 1,600 pounds of clay. Tennis courts can be constructed from at least four different types of materials, but clay courts are easier on the human body, as the surface absorbs more shock and allows players to conserve slightly more energy throughout the game. High Point Parks & Recreation offers a variety of tennis programs - at Oak Hollow Tennis Center, at some of our recreation centers and through ASPIRE for people with disabilities. Learn more at www.highpointnc.gov/pr.

High Point Senior Games Kickoff High Point Parks & Recreation celebrated a great kickoff to the 2022 Greater High Point Senior Games at the Roy B.

Park and Recreation Month High Point Parks & Recreation is joining communities across the country to celebrate Parks & Recreation Month. Held each July, this national event highlights the ways our community is stronger, more vibrant and more resilient because of the programs, facilities and work accomplished by the Parks & Recreation Department. • According to National Parks & Recreation Association's 2021 Engagement with Parks Report, people place a high value on the programs and services that park and recreation agencies deliver to their local communities every day and strongly support their mission. • 260 million people in the U.S. visited a local park or recreation facility at least once during the past year. • Seven out of 10 U.S. residents have at least one local park, playground, open space or recreation center within walking distance of their homes. • Four out of five U.S. adults seek high-quality parks and recreation when choosing a place to live. • Eighty-seven percent of people agree that parks and recreation is an important service provided by their local government. • Nearly nine out of 10 people agree that it is important to fund local park and recreation agencies to ensure every member of the community has equitable access to amenities, infrastructure and programming We’ll be celebrating our staff this month! High Point Parks & Recreation employs 122 full-time, 75 part-time and approximately 97 seasonal staff. They work hard to provide our community with hundreds of programs and events throughout each year; other staff beautifully maintains our 41 parks and two golf courses.

Thanks so much for all you do! Our staff earns and maintains certifications and licenses, such as Certified Playground Safety Inspector, Certified Kayaking Instructor, CPR and First Aid, Lifeguarding, Certified Pool Operator and more, all to make sure we can offer safe, quality programs to our community!

Focus On A quote attributed to author Jenny Han opines, “everything good, everything magical happens between the months of June and August.” As summer 2022 gets underway, High Point Parks & Recreation is excited to offer many ways youth, adults and families can enjoy the outdoors, spend quality time together, improve their health and make the most of these warm, sunny days. We hope you will note the diverse opportunities to “play, learn, (and) enjoy” your time through our events and programs. Among them are a large number of programs on our beautiful lakes for both beginners and seasoned water enthusiasts. Are you interested in learning how to sail, kayak or paddleboard? We’ve got you. Maybe you need a date night, a girl’s night out or just some overdue time with friends, neighbors or co-workers. You don’t have to keep saying, “we need to get together!” Book one of our sunset paddles and relax. Or how about yoga on a stand-up paddleboard that is lit with glow lights? We will have that, too. Here’s what you need to know.

Sunset Paddles

These beautiful experiences are a great opportunity to see nature from a completely different perspective as the sun dips low over the water. See page 26 for details.

Learn to Sail

Teens and adults learn the basics of sailing through hands-on experience with the help of experienced sailors from the Oak Hollow Sailing Club. See page 27 for details.

Intro to Kayaking This class provides the basics of the sport and important safety procedures. See page 27 for details.

Women’s Intro to Kayaking and Safety on the Water

This two-hour class covers basic water safety and kayaking techniques. See page 27 for details.

Fall Leaf Kayak Tour
