Director’s Message Brian Sjothun | Parks & Recreation Director | City of Medford Dear Medford, We hope that everyone enjoyed the holiday season! We’re looking forward to what will be a memorable year for Medford Parks & Recreation. The completion of Pear Blossom Park as part of the Commons project downtown provides Medford with an exciting new event venue that will feature many events. In addition to Pear Blossom Park, the department will be opening Liberty Park in January along with completing three additional playing fields at U.S. Cellular Community Park this summer. Over the past few months, our staff completed a special visioning process in order to identify the four pillars of our organization. Maybe a better way to term it is, “What We’re Known For.” Our four pillars are: Community Enrichment: We provide opportunities for activities, life-long learning and stewardship of quality public spaces that enhance the lives of the community we serve. We work, so many can play.

Excellence: We’re laser-focused and consistently challenge ourselves to perform every task at the highest level capable by each team member, inspired to do better and be better. We enlist national accreditation standards, which enable the department to implement best practices in all functions of the organization. Exceptional Customer Service: Our staff is empowered to make informed decisions and provide creative solutions for our customers. Many of these decisions are gained through experiences and creating a culture based on listening and balancing needs in order to exceed our customer’s expectations. Innovation: The department encourages an organizational culture that values new ideas and is not afraid of change or a different way of doing things. We’re nimble enough to move resources to meet the changing needs of our customers, community and staff. On behalf of the Medford Parks & Recreation Department, we look forward to serving you under these four pillars. Sincerely, Brian Sjothun, CPRP
