F R O M D U R H A M PA R K S & R E C R E AT I O N ' S D I R E C T O R I'm writing this letter now for the June-August Play More and although it’s not even spring yet, one thing I can say is that new programs and opportunities for community engagement are popping up everywhere! We’re coming into prime park season, and we are excited about a number of programs that will draw the residents of Durham into our parks to not only enjoy the outdoors but to connect people to each other. DPR’s “Parks Connecting Neighbors” initiative came from input given by Durham residents during our 2013 Master Plan process. Through community meetings, surveys, and online engagement tools, we learned from you that you wanted parks to be gathering places for people to socialize, meet new friends, and build community with each other. You asked us to provide more opportunities for this to happen, and we are excited about the programs that will be happening in our parks this summer and in future months. To celebrate Park and Recreation month in July, on each Wednesday of the month we’ll feature fun activities for kids and families in different parks throughout Durham. See page 9 for more details. A few other events that give you a special reason to visit a park - Community Campfires are one program that has existed for several years, and it’s a simple premise – we provide the campfire and s’mores supplies, you come and enjoy! Walltown Park will be offering movies in the park this summer, and our popular Rock the Park series which features both movies and concerts in parks all over the city will start in June. See our “Special Events” section on p. 34 for a more detailed listing of Rock the Park events. Come fall, we’ll have even more new and fun programming in parks to bring our community together. DPR was also invited to participate in the National Recreation and Park Association’s “Parks Connecting Communities” initiative, in which we submitted several potential park improvement projects that focused on increasing play in the community. Out of three possible projects, City of Durham residents had the opportunity to vote for the park project they liked best. Voting took place in April, so by the time you read this letter, voting will have finished and information will be available on the winning project! It will receive $20,000 and will be completed by fall of 2015. Keep those evaluations coming, share your ideas with us at community meetings, DPR Open Forums and online on our website. We are here for you, and we work hard so that you can Play More. Thank you for your continued participation, support and honest opinions. We appreciate YOU!

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.
