SPRING/SUMMER 2018
GO PLAY Parks, Programs & Events Guide
LETTER FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT November 7th marks my first day as the Rutland Recreation and Parks Superintendent. I was overly impressed by the many programs the Recreation offers-specifically the Rutland Youth Theatre. I am stunned by all the facilities, including our wonderful parks, and excited to be involved in the opening of the White Memorial Park in June 2018! There are so many amazing partnerships that have been established which I have already had the chance to collaborate with. I am inspired by the 15 full-time staff members and the many seasonal/part-time staff who are passionate about their work with the Rutland Recreation Department. The Community, Staff, City Hall, and many partnerships have welcomed me as the new Superintendent and I am anticipating an exciting Spring and Summer Season. The Recreation and Parks Department has many other projects and focus areas for the next 6 months. The basketball courts at White Memorial Park will get an upgrade, Rotary Park updates including a pavilion, continuing upgrades at Giorgetti, and recently a new floor at Godnick was installed. Many other smaller projects will continue to keep the staff busy. In regards to programs, we added a wrestling youth program with 40 kids joining, a variety of aquatic programs for summer will be added, and a re-focus on many of the sporting programs we currently provide to the community. The next few months will bring change and transition to the Recreation Department and I am open to new ideas and challenges. I honor the tradition of excellence the staff, programs, and events bring to the Rutland Community. My door is always open, come in and say HI! (or if it’s a warm and sunny day you may find my office at the White Pool). The Rutland Recreation and Parks Department serves our community through sports, events, programs, and a connection with each other. I encourage everyone to try a new adventure, activity, event, or program this upcoming year, we offer so many opportunities and hope to offer more in the years to come. Serving the Community,
Kim Peters Superintendent Recreation and Parks
