Picnic Shelter Rentals Online! Want to rent a picnic shelter? No need to call to check availability or drive to the DPR administration office to make a reservation. Now it's as easy as going online! You can check availability, reserve a shelter, and pay, all on DPR Play More Online. At www.DPRPlayMore.org, just click "Register Online," then "Book Facilities."

Here at DPR it's all about building relationships, learning what the community needs are, and understanding what the community wants. We’ve listened to your ideas for future improvements (see continuous improvements funded through the ½ Penny Tax for Parks and Trails and Capital Improvement in parks throughout the City of Durham on page 9) and are working hard to build a stronger community through play! What does play really mean in Play More? PlayPrints, KaBOOM! playground builds and Playful City USA are just a few of the recent initiatives that come to mind. Whether through parks, trails, recreation centers, wellness services or programs, Durham Parks and Recreation (DPR) has a unique connection with our community. Durham has been recognized as a Playful City USA for 6 years in a row! Playful City USA is a nationally recognized program which honors cities that ensure there are play spaces for youth. DPR has achieved this status through working with KaBOOM!. KaBOOM! is a national non-profit that assists with providing play areas for youth by bringing the community together to assist with building playgrounds. Durham currently has three KaBOOM! Playgrounds, with our most recent at Red Maple Park which was built in one day on November 7. This playground designed by the children and families in the community was funded by MetLife, coordinated by KaBOOM! and DPR, supported by the Community, Recreation Advisory Commission (RAC), and Keep Durham Beautiful (KDB). DPR supports open communication with our neighbors and listens to ideas for future improvements. Four square and hop scotch are just a few of the new colorful, interactive PlayPrints you can find outside of the Holton Career and Resource Center. Thanks to a grant through Blue Cross Blue Shield North Carolina (BCBSNC) and the North Carolina Recreation and Park Association (NCRPA) the PlayPrints were dedicated on October 27, 2015. The area is covered, making it ideal for play in all types of weather. In June 2015, City Council approved funding for an assessment of Durham’s priority trails as identified by the City and Durham Open Space and Trails Commission (DOST) with the purpose of determining specific costs to design and build these trails. The assessment, in the form of a pamphlet, presents a graphic and written guide to each of the five priority trails and includes a feasible route, connection opportunities, demographic analyses, and design and construction costs based on NCDOT 2015 standards. The assessment was completed in October, and it will be a useful tool that will benefit trail planning and funding in the future. DPR is excited to focus our programming efforts on connecting the community to the outdoors, promoting wellness, and encouraging lifelong learning. Be on the lookout for programs like Star Party Astronomy and our inaugural Crappie Tournament. We will continue to offer wellness focused programs for all ages, like Kid Fit for our preschoolers and Get-Fit with Style for our Mature Adults. Campus to Campus College tours return this session, as well as Welcome to Beekeeping, which are excellent ways to promote learning and enrich the lives of participants. Remember there are several ways to connect and be a part of this revitalization by Play, visit our website at DPRPlayMore.org to volunteer, Adopt-A-Park or Trail, or check out our programs, services and facilities. The Durham Parks Foundation is also an excellent vehicle for individuals and groups to support projects that you would like to see at your favorite park. Visit our website at durhamparksfoundation.org for more information. Thank you and continue to Play More with DPR!

ADOPT-A-PARK and ADOPT-A-TRAIL PROGRAMS A Great Way to Give Back - Adopt a Park or Trail! Volunteers from all over the community support Durham’s parks and trails through the Adopt-A-Park and Adopt-A-Trail (APAT) programs. This program is a great opportunity for you or your organization to make a positive difference in your community. Since 2003, community groups have supported their community by adopting parks and trail segments in Durham. DPR manages nearly 1,800 acres of parkland in more than 68 parks and more than 25 miles of greenways, and we’re still growing. The assistance we receive from adopting agencies is invaluable as we make every effort to care for our natural resources.

Services Departments provide routine park maintenance and repairs; however, the adopting individuals and organizations give the park or trail the extra care and attention it needs. Adopters work on a variety of projects of their choosing. They have assisted with numerous cleanup, landscaping, and facility improvement projects. Any individual or organization interested in bettering our parks and trails can adopt. For additional information on the Adopt-A-Park and Adopt-A Trail programs, please visit our website: www.DPRPlayMore. org.

American Tobacco Trail The American Tobacco Trail is a 22+ mile rails-to-trails project located in the Triangle Region of North Carolina. The route crosses through the City of Durham; Durham, Chatham, and Wake counties The Durham portion of this trail is a 10-foot wide, 11 mile paved, off-road trail that follows the old CSX railroad. It begins at the corner of Morehead and Blackwell Streets and ends at the Chatham County Line, which is 3000ft south of Scott King Rd. The trail is heavily used by walkers, joggers, cyclists, roller-bladers and folks pushing baby carriages. Users need to keep their speed below 10 mph and watch for other trail users. Seasonal restrooms along the trail route are located at Elmira Park, Solite Park, and C.M. Herndon Park.

Why a park foundation? Fundraising and accepting donations

Durham

Private donors often like to give to the private sector because they have more control of how their money will be spent.

Grant writing and management

PARKS

Many foundations only accept applications from 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations.

Efficiency and flexibility Foundation funding would allow for purchasing equipment, hiring repair crews, and increasing programming opportunities on an as-needed or emergency basis.

Foundation

Advocacy Volunteers have more freedom to speak out for budget increases, increased security, or in favor of acquiring new parkland, while a parks department works within the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s adopted priorities.

Community ties A non-profit foundation has strong credibility with residents and local institutions.

Consistent leadership A mature nonprofit conservancy or friends group can sometimes provide more continuous leadership than public officials.

Established July, 2015
