LEWISTON PARKS AND RECREATION
DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE
of our twenty-three different neighborhood and community parks. Our Parks Department has parks located in all areas of the City. Most offer playgrounds, picnic sites, active recreation fields and plenty of open grass areas. Our park shelters and athletic fields are all available for reservations for your company picnic, wedding, birthday party or just a small gathering for your friends and/or family. We have sites to meet every need. Parks and Recreation has been in the development process of our 170 acre Community Park on Warner Ave for 8 years now. Initial developments have begun and I would like to invite you to go and see what the property has to offer. We are currently in the final stages of applying for a grant to complete the trail system around the exterior of the Tri-Partnership site that will fully allow you to explore what the property has to offer. This spring we will be placing an information kiosk at the parking lot so community members can imagine and dream of the possibilities that this site will bring to the Lewiston community. The current trail system provides 2.5 miles of asphalt and paved pathways to explore with no more than a 6% slope, allowing easy access for all. So, whatever your desire is when it comes to recreation, the City of Lewiston Parks and Recreation Department is here to serve you. Please visit our entire Parks and Recreation website in addition to looking through our quarterly guide, as all 7 divisions of our Department have provided information on the website and has been developed to share as much information as we can in order to answer any question that you may have. I wish to encourage you to send us your suggestions and ideas at any time. I will personally see to it that every effort is made to make your recreational experience in Lewiston enjoyable, safe and healthy!! Best Regards, Tim Barker
