LETTER FROM THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR Bob Smith

Greetings and Happy New Year!

Welcome to the Parks and Recreation Rec Now, we are sure you will find valuable information in this newsletter. We strive to provide information that you are looking for as well as information that will enlighten, educate, and showcase new programs.

The New Year brings with it new opportunities to experience one of our many programs or activities.

The Parks and Recreation Department invites you to look at the diverse program that are offered, to find something new! For the young ones in your family, look at one of our many dance or gymnastic classes, for the parents look towards a line or ballroom dancing class! If the cold weather gets you down, registration is also opened for some of our early spring youth and adult sport leagues, including Co-Ed Softball, Men's Basketball, and Kickball. You can register online for most programs from the comfort of your home at www.activity.reg. We encourage you to take advantage of this convenience.

You can also visit us online at www.cityoffrederick.com to view our brochure online.

The City of Frederick Parks system is a premier destination that welcomes and captivates residents and visitors. With over 800 acres of parkland and more than 5 miles of pathways through 73 parks, our parks system and its beauty are part of the daily life and shape the character of the City.

Residents are informed and involved in shaping the future of the park, the recreation system and its value to their lives.

If you are familiar with our quality programs and events, thank you. If you are a newcomer, I invite you to explore the recreation your city has to offer!
