GREETINGS FROM DURHAM PARKS & RECREATION'S DIRECTOR Although some of our activities and events have been postponed, it hasn’t kept our team from being creative and developing new and safer ways to serve you. We still have a variety of offerings available ranging from our Reels on Wheels (drive-in movies), virtual programs (including fitness), and spaces and technology for youth to participate in virtual school while receiving healthy meals. Lastly, let’s not forget the over 65 parks, green spaces, and over 25 miles of trails all for you. Whether it’s virtual programming or opting to be outside, the health and wellness benefits are more important than ever. Take advantage of them. In fact, numerous studies have shown there are physical and mental health benefits to spending time in green spaces. Durham parks, trails, and open spaces have recently become even more of a respite from stress. Did you know 83% of adults find exercising at parks, trails, and open spaces essential to maintaining their mental and physical health during the COVID-19 pandemic? Or that 59% of respondents say it is very or extremely essential to exercise in parks and greens spaces to relieve stress and remain healthy during this crisis? We recognize this is a crucial time to offer you opportunities for social connections and access to health and wellness benefits in either a virtual environment or while safely, physically distanced. To take advantage of all these benefits, all of us will need to work together. We’re happy to serve you, we will continue to do so, and we welcome your feedback. Please take note of the following COVID-19 tips when visiting your parks and trails: • • • • • •

Follow the latest State of North Carolina and City of Durham’s guidelines prior to visiting parks or trails. Do not use parks or trails if you are exhibiting symptoms. Be prepared for limited access to public restrooms and / or water fountains. Share the trail and warn other trail users of your presence as you pass. Observe the minimum recommended physical distancing of 6 feet from other persons at all times. Remember the 3 Ws – wear, wait, wash.

Sincerely,

Wade Walcutt Director, Durham Parks and Recreation Play More: Connecting our whole community to wellness, the outdoors, and lifelong learning. We support Inclusion - Persons of all ability levels are welcome at every facility and every program. CR: City Resident; NCR: Non-City Resident

ADOPT-A-PARK, ADOPT-A-TRAIL Volunteers from all over the community support Durham’s parks and trails through the Adopt-APark and Adopt-A-Trail (APAT) programs. These programs are 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 30 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. The City of Durham Parks and Recreation Department provides 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 dprplaymore.org or contact Mal Atkinson, at 919-560-4355 or dprvolunteers@durhamnc.gov.
