Parks, Programs & Events Guide
LETTER FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT Welcome to our first combined Spring and Summer brochure. We realized this made complete sense when we were barely registering for spring programs and our summer brochure was already out. You will want to hold onto your copy as it lists fun programs through the summer. You can always find a copy on our web-site rutlandrec.com if needed, too. I’d like to give a shout out to April Cioffi who took over designing our brochure after the Rutland Herald no longer was able to print them. I love the bold new look on the front cover and easy to read pages inside. Kayla Ploof has been taking amazing pictures at our events that help showcase what is going on with our parks and programs. Let us know if you are interested in placing an ad in our next brochure.
- we live in a recreation paradise... We were funded this year by the James T. Bowse Health Trust for our new Park Rx program. The program will connect patients referred by health care partners to our Park Rx Health Coach. The health coach will work as a cheerleader encouraging folks to be active and will provide monthly programming, regular phone checkins and incentives to help our community to take advantage of our parks and get moving. Jaya Davis is our health coach and Heidi Lynch is our liaison with all of our health partners. Many thanks to the health partners that were willing to commit to trying the program – Therapydia, Dr. Schu, Donna Hunt (RRMC diabetes center), Jackie Becker (RRMC Wellness) and Dr. Kingsbauer. For more information on the program call 773-1822 and ask for Jaya. The department has numerous projects coming up in our parks this spring and summer. We will be breaking ground on the new pool, renovating Center Street Alley, designing a new pavilion at Rotary Park, working on irrigation for our baseball/softball fields, continuing upgrades at Giorgetti plus many, many small projects to keep our parks in great shape for our community. We launched a needs-assessment for our Master Plan in early February. We will take the information gathered and use it to design focus groups and public meetings to further engage the community for the future of our parks and programs. We want to make sure we are connected to the community and looking out to the next 5,10, 20 years with our planning. Remember to get outside and PLAY – we live in a recreation paradise and the best way to appreciate it is by enjoying one of Rutland’s many city parks. Yours in community, Cindi Wight, CPRE RUTLAND REC AND PARKS

Ask your provider if ParkRx is right for you! A new program is coming soon to our community through Rutland Recreation! Ask your provider if a ParkRx (Park Prescription) program is right for you. ParkRx connects your healthcare provider to programs and parks in the area to help our community get moving. A health coach is excited to connect with you to get moving more! ParkRx encourages health, community, and park agencies to use parks and open space to improve individual and community health! For more information on the ParkRx program call Rutland Recreation at 773-1822! OR Talk with your healthcare provider next time you have an appointment and see if they are one of our prescribing partners. Let’s work on “connecting people to parks and nature…one prescription at a time.”

Early registration is encouraged as programs fill up quickly PLEASE NOTE: Programs incur a $10 late registration fee less than 10 days from the start date.
DO YOU PROVIDE SCHOLARSHIPS? The Rutland Recreation and Parks Department and the Recreation Committee recognize that the charging of fees for programs may place such an economic hardship on some individuals that they are unable to participate. For that reason, a fee reduction waiver system is available for eligible residents of Rutland City. All scholarships will run from July 1st to June 30th of each year. Persons applying must do so before June 15th to be activated by July 1st. You must reapply each year to see if you are eligible for a scholarship.

WHAT IS THE REFUND POLICY? A full refund (minus a $5 administrative fee) will be given for withdrawal from a program if requested ten (10) business days prior to the start of the program. If the department makes changes to a class that prohibits a participant from attending the class, there is a full refund with no administrative fees. A 50% refund will be given for withdrawal from a program if the request is made less than 10 days prior but before the class has started. In the case of team sports, the date the program has started is the date the teams are formed. A 25% refund will be given for withdrawal from the program if a request is made on the day that the program started (or the day after for evening classes). There are no refunds after that date.

YOUTH SPORTS VOLUNTEER COACHES NEEDED Volunteer coaches are the backbone of the recreation department youth sports programs. We appreciate the efforts of all of our volunteers over the years. Unfortunately, it has become increasingly difficult to find an adequate number of volunteers each season. Effective immediately, if there are an insufficient number of volunteers at the program start date, the program may be delayed, amended or even canceled. Please note that participants fees for our programs are based on adults stepping forward to volunteer; in the event that programs have to move to paid staff, program fees will have to increase significantly. Please consider volunteering…as a coach or a team parent..the opportunities are endless! The reward is knowing that you made and investment in the future of our community…our children!
