LETTER from the LETTER from the ADMINISTRATOR PARK BOARD We have much to be grateful for here in Lee’s Summit. Over the last year or so, I have shared in a weekly email to a small list of subscribers some of the things I am thankful for. Among them were vacations, co-workers, sunrise bike rides, volunteers, friendships, pets, nature blooming in spring, and many more.

But there is something I am grateful for that you may not realize. I am grateful for you! You are unique and bring something of great value to our community; something that no one else could bring: you! Without you, there would be no Legacy Park Community Center. Without you, there would be no Summit Waves. There would be no Splashpad at Miller J. Fields, no skate park at Lea McKeighan Park. There would be no Lee’s Summit Parks & Recreation. Because without you, we would have no purpose. But there is a you. And for that, I am incredibly grateful. I am honored that we can serve you, your friends, your family. You have brought significant meaning to the lives of the staff and board of LSPR. And when we see you enjoying Lee’s Summit’s parks, facilities, activities, events, and programs, it fills our hearts with pride to be part of such a wonderful community. And do you know something? A community wouldn’t be a community without one crucial ingredient... You guessed it. You. J. Thomas Lovell Jr., CPRP | Administrator 220 SE Green Street | Lee’s Summit, MO 64063 816.969.1501 | fax: 816.969.1515 | www.lsparks.net

The Lee’s Summit Parks & Recreation Board wishes to announce the retirement of our Administrator, Tom Lovell. Tom has served Lee’s Summit Parks & Recreation for nearly 38 years and is now ready to pursue some of his many other interests and passions (including his four grandchildren). While we are sincerely happy for Tom in this new season of life, it is also with heartfelt sadness to not have him as a part of the LSPR team. Under Tom’s leadership, the Lee’s Summit Parks & Recreation system grew from 12 employees to 42 full-time employees, hundreds of part-time and seasonal employees, and an equal number of contractors. We have also grown our volunteer support to over 3,300 volunteers providing 98,324 hours of service each year. Our open space inventory has grown from 250 acres to over 1,200 acres. There are now 77 miles of trails, 30 neighborhood parks, three community centers, and a water park. The attendance in these parks and facilities is now over 1 million a year and growing. We all share the pride in having won the prestigious National Gold Medal Award for Park and Recreation Excellence. Only three cities in the State of Missouri have received this award. Additionally, we have maintained 14 years of full national accreditation through three rigorous on-site reviews. In the state of Missouri, only three other cities have achieved this distinction. Finally and most important, the staff and Board have built an engaged, skilled, passionate team of volunteer leaders and staff that are second to none. The real measure of this accomplishment will be our ability to pursue “The Legacy for Tomorrow... Continues” with the same vigor and diligence that brought us to this juncture in the history of Lee’s Summit Parks & Recreation. God Speed, Tom Lovell! You’ll be missed, but not forgotten.

Sounds of SUMMER

Lee’s Summit Parks & Rec Presents the 2017 Summer Concert Series • Flashback to Folk — Sat, June 17 • Jamaican Jam — Fri, July 21 • Blues Fest — Fri, August 4 See page 20 for the full line-up!

Warm summer air, the smell of fresh popcorn, and relaxing in your lawn chair tapping your toes to the best local bands around. That’s what you experience when you attend Lee’s Summit Parks & Recreation’s Summer Concert Series. Each summer, LSPR hosts three free concerts for the community to experience some of the metro’s most talented performers.

This year, LSPR is excited to announce that the Summer Concert Series will be moving to Legacy Park Amphitheater. Not only will this be a great venue because of the beautiful lake as a backdrop, there is ample parking and concert goers will have a concession stand and REAL restrooms to use. How can you not love that?

The Summer Concert Series was started in 1996 as a free way for the community to enjoy the outdoors with their families on a Friday night. The concerts began on Main Street in front of the Chamber of Commerce. Once construction of the new City Hall was completed, they moved to Green Street and LSPR purchased a portable stage to set up on one end of the street as concertgoers lined up along the other end and on the steps of City Hall Plaza to enjoy several different genres of music over the years. Country, bluegrass, folk, reggae, classic rock, blues, and jazz have all shared their time on the stage.

The lineup this year includes the June concert “Flashback to Folk” featuring Peter, Paul, Mary Alive! one of the best tribute bands in the country performing all the songs you remember from the protest rock era. In July, the popular “Jamaican Jam” is scheduled as Kansas City’s best reggae bands perform. The series will conclude in August with “Blues Fest.” ¢

Something seems

FISHY TWO DECADES! That’s how long it’s been since the first annual Kids’ Fishing Derby. In those 20 years this event has seen a few changes. Originally held at the old Sportsman’s Outfitter & Marina, after six years the event was moved to the newly constructed Legacy Park Lake in 2004 and has reminded there for 14 years. Since that first fishing derby in 1997, attendance has grown to an average registration of 90 kids. Typically taking place the second Saturday of May, this year’s event will occur on Saturday, May 13. The Kid’s Fishing Derby provides kiddos an introduction to the sport of fishing and the responsibility of caring for our natural resources. ¢ 6

Tour de LAKES “There’s nothing like a good bike ride…” And Tour de Lakes is just that.

The annual memorial ride began in 2002 as a way to honor avid cyclist, Tom Logan who passed away the year before. His wife, Diane Logan, along with a few of Tom’s friends came up with the idea to organize a bike ride in his memory. The ride began with one route and 100 riders. Annually, over 900 riders from 15 states participate in the ride. Happening on the last Saturday in June, Tour de Lakes is one of the premier bike rides in the Kansas City area. Many sponsors plus over 100 volunteers help to make it a memorable experience.

The 16th Annual Tom Logan Memorial Bike Ride Since 2002

Riders choose from four routes to enable all levels the ability to take part. We’ve seen entire families riding together. Toddlers are buckled in the bike trailer as parents peddle around the lake with grandparents right behind on their own set of wheels. Talk about a multi-generational activity! Tour de Lakes participants have been on tandem bikes, recumbent bikes; one year we even had a rider on a unicycle! This ride is designed for anyone at any level to strap on a helmet, get on their bike, and just ride. ¢

CAMP SUMMIT “We love Camp Summit! My kids started there with no experience swimming and became excellent swimmers by the end of the summer! The best part is that my kiddos make lots of friends and have an awesome time.” —Stephenie Wells

Many working parents face a common challenge when summer arrives and the kids are out of school... Where’s the best place for my kids to go while I’m at work? These parents want a safe environment their kids can enjoy. You’ll find exactly that at Camp Summit. A recreational day camp for kids ages 5-11, Camp Summit has you covered during summer break. Campers have time to swim every day at Summit Waves Aquatic Center. Plus they will experience the sites of Lee’s Summit and the Kansas City area with two field trips each week. “We want campers to have so much fun that they don’t want to leave,” says Camp Summit Director, Ryan Gibson. “It’s nice to hear a camper telling their parents how much fun they had. When a camper has fun and their parents are confident their child is safe, then we’ve done a good job.” Camp Summit hosts some of the kindest and most fun-loving teen and young adult counselors in the area. Each of these counselors have one goal: to make sure the campers have a great time! Playground, games, swimming, crafts, dancing, talent shows, field trips and more! These add up to make Camp Summit the place to be this summer! ¢

“

I believe Inclusion is an important part of recreation because it creates opportunities for children of all abilities to have fun together, it allows them to learn from each other’s differences, and creates connections to other children in their community.

“

—Jodi Bell, LSPR Inclusion Coordinator

INCLUSION IS KEY at Legacy Park

Joseph A. Dyke Memorial Playground 1201 NE Legacy Park Dr • Lee’s Summit, MO

Lee’s Summit Parks & Recreation has been awarded a $25,000 grant from EITAS (Empowering Individuals Through Advocacy and Support) for upgrades to the existing inclusive playground, the Joseph A. Dyke Playground at Legacy Park. Jodi Bell (Inclusion Coordinator), Steve Casey (Superintendent of Park Construction), and Andy Holmes (Strategic Communications and Administration Manager) worked together to write a proposal for this project in the fall of 2016. Staff received word in December of the same year that the project was chosen for the grant. The vision for the playground came from the grassroots community level and from individuals who have been touched or have loved ones who have accessibility issues. The playground is constructed in a way that allows expansion in multiple phases as funding becomes available. New innovations and more creative solutions to inclusive play hit the market almost daily, and thus it is important for our department to provide the highest level of quality, safe, and accessible play equipment. The new playground expansion concept proposed for the site continues some of the theme already established with the existing features and imaginative, adaptive play. In addition, the same equipment manufacturer (Landscape Structures) has proposed several unique inclusive play features for the new site that have recently hit the market and meet or exceed all ADA guidelines for accessibility. The upgrade project could begin as early as this summer. It’s anticipated that the project may be completed within 3-4 months utilizing in-house and contract services and be ready for opening by the end of this year. ¢ Did you know approximately 1/5 of the Kansas City Metro area population have functional and/or access needs? LSPR staffs an inclusion coordinator to help assist with the special needs of our community.

Preventing Injuries in Your Young Athlete

Matthew Daggett, DO Advanced Orthopedics & Sports Medicine

Sports play an important role in staying active and healthy, especially for young athletes. As the weather gets warmer and kids begin to hit the playing fields, it’s important to remind them that aches and pains might signal an undiagnosed sports injury, and “playing through the pain” could make an undetected injury even worse. Oftentimes the initial aches and pains felt during the progression of an injury are overlooked by young athletes. It’s essential to teach them about the importance of informing a coach, athletic trainer or parent of their pain, because undiagnosed injuries become more severe in the long run. Signs that an athlete is playing too hard and should talk to a physician include: • Inability to put weight on injured body part, such as ankle or knee • Experience severe joint or muscle stiffness • Pain when running or walking • Persistent swelling of injured body part such as ankle, knee, foot or shoulder Taking some precautions can help keep kids safe on the field or on the court. In addition to not ignoring the pain, young athletes should follow these safety tips: • Don’t skip the warm-up or cool-down • Make time for low impact exercises before or after practice • Practice strength training and stretching • During stretching, be safe and effective—hold the pose for 10-12 seconds and don’t push the body beyond the point of resistance • Staying hydrated is key to minimizing muscle cramps. If the athlete feels thirst, they’ve waited too long to consume fluids. • If possible, play more than one position or try new sports during the off-season. This will help prevent overuse injuries • If the pain continues or worsens, consult a physician. When participating in sports, it’s important for athletes, parents and coaches to recognize when an injury may occur, and understand the proper steps to take once identified to ensure athletes stay safe, healthy and in the game! ¢ Dr. Daggett is affiliated and serves as Medical Director of Sports Medicine at Lee’s Summit Medical Center To learn more about orthopedic services available at Lee’s Summit Medical Center, visit LeesSummitMedicalCenter.com/ortho

A Winning

COMBO

Youth Sports and Parks & Recreation go together like peanut butter and jelly. Did you know LSPR has agreements with four Youth Sports Associations? These agreements allow Lee’s Summit Soccer, Lee’s Summit Baseball, Lee’s Summit Girls’ Softball, and Lee’s Summit Football to oversee the operations and management of their respective sports venues. Some of these agreements have been in place for over twenty years and have served as models for many other metro area communities as well as throughout the nation. This is one of the ways we represent best practices in our industry. Included in the agreements with each Youth Sports Association (YSA) are requirements for use which include (but are not limited to) background checks, financial reporting and audits, verification of non-profit status, participant surveys, maintenance and care of facilities, and coaches training. LSPR provides maintenance and repair for restrooms, concession buildings, fences, landscape, parking lots & walkways, and turf, as well as winterizing buildings. The old adage, “The whole is greater than the sum of the parts” couldn’t be more true. The YSA’s and LSPR make a great combination. Between the four YSA’s there are more than 9,000 participants each year! ¢

LEGACY

Why the Lee’s Summit Historical Cemetery Matters to Our Community

The Lee’s Summit Historical Cemetery (located at 806 SE 3rd St) was originally founded in 1865 when William B. Howard donated land to the then town of Strother.

Previously the city’s Public Works Department managed the cemetery, but maintenance and management was entrusted to the Parks Department in 1993.

The cemetery continued to grow throughout the years as more land was donated until reaching its current size of 20 acres. Many of Lee’s Summit’s historical resident— including the infamous Cole Younger—are buried within the cemetery.

Lee’s Summit Parks & Recreation strives to maintain the cemetery to the highest standards out of respect for its history and our patrons.

The cemetery also contains the graves of approximately 125 Civil War veterans. Brochures for a self-guided walking tour which highlights historical grave locations are available at the cemetery office and the bulletin board in the northeast corner of the cemetery. 26

Currently there are 330 plots available for sale within the cemetery. If interested in purchasing a plot or learning more about the cemetery, please contact the office at (816) 969-1590. ¢

It generates well being, quietness and stimulates motor skills, our senses and our creativity. In this workshop, participants will create their own drawing to color. We will focus on a particular activity to spark our imaginations, connect to how we feel at the moment, and reduce stress. Activity # Day 299800-08 Tu 299800-12 Th
