Message from the General Manager Winter/Spring 2016 Our park system is surviving this extended drought and you can see we’ve increased watering at many parks as a result of the direction we have received from water suppliers and the city, still maintaining a 20% overall reduction of water use in our system.

There is quite a bit of rehabilitation yet to be done in our parks, particularly in the turf areas, and we are still implementing methods of saving water in our landscape as a means to adapt to shorter water supplies. Thank you for your support and patience as we all work together to address the drought.

We hope you get out of the house this winter and spring and enjoy the great outdoors at local parks, trails and open spaces. We have some of the most beautiful outdoor spaces in the Tri-Valley and you owe it to yourself to get out and enjoy them.

Our low-cost Ranger Programs at Sycamore Grove Park and other locations are a great way to get out to open space parks, enjoy the fresh air and exercise, and learn more about local flora and fauna. With fun and interesting topics, our talented and personable rangers will provide an enjoyable and educational experience for you and your family.

New Year’s Resolutions? Who needs them! Well, maybe we do need at least some goals for the new year to motivate us to change that which needs changing, right? As a living being, we need change in our lives so we can learn and evolve. Our parks, open spaces and trails are ideal places to resolve to get more exercise and enjoy healthy activities. Our recreation programs lift spirits, teach new skills, and allow you to meet others and develop social relationships.

If we experience the “El Nino” rain that is predicted, you may be cooped up in the house for extended periods of time (but that’s okay…we sure could use the water!). Rain or shine, our Robert Livermore Community Center is open for business seven days a week and always has something for you to do. Browse through this catalogue and choose some interesting activities in which to enroll, and plan your time to get out of the house and experience an enjoyable and fulfilling activity with LARPD programs and facilities.

Happy Holidays!

Tim Barry General Manager

Parks Make Life Better!

“And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.” ~Khalil Gibran An extensive research study by the California Parks and Recreation Society (CPRS) asked California citizens and public officials “Why are parks important to you?” The results demonstrated that parks and recreation are very important to the residents of California for a variety of reasons.

Parks and recreation make lives and communities better today and in the future by providing: 1. outdoor spaces to play; 2. access to the serenity and inspiration of nature; 3. opportunities for human development and lifelong learning; 4. spaces to exercise, and; 5. activities that facilitate social connections.

LARPD is excited to join other communities statewide in the unified message that Parks Make Life Better! And to help you pursue your leisure, we thought we’d provide a look at how your LARPD parks do make life better...

Play LARPD recreation and parks provide safe, vibrant places to play.

Nature LARPD Open Spaces provide opportunities to enjoy the beauty and serenity of the great outdoors, and promote conservation, care, and preservation of our wilderness areas.

Positive Human Development Whether in an LARPD ESS student program or lifelong enrichment class, purposeful play decidedly boosts learning.

Exercise Movement keeps us healthy throughout life and LARPD has so many programs to choose from you’ll never get out of shape!

Positive Spaces LARPD has so many places to enjoy free-time fun you’ll be busy all year. There are skate parks, gyms, sport team playing fields, picnic spots, special event halls, and more!

“Now, go out and find what inspires you…explore your imagination…build relationships…create your future.” (1)

Get Out and Play!
