Urbandale Little League Baseball Ages: 4-16 www.urbandalelittleleague.com Email: UrbandaleLL@gmail.com Where, Oh Where Can My Little Dog Go? Here’s the scoop! Dogs and their owners are welcome in many of our parks - as long as the pets are on a leash at all times and owners clean up after their animals. However, make no bones about it! We can’t sidestep the issue of pet waste. Out of courtesy to others using the parks, pet owners must take responsibility and help to keep our parks clean. Please bring a scooper and/or bag with you when you enjoy the parks with your four-legged friends. Appreciation and thanks are extended to responsible pet owners who, along with their pets, respect other park users and the park system. Bike Trails Urbandale has an extensive bike trail system. A map of the bike trails is located on pages 32-33. Additional maps are available at the Parks and Recreation office. If you are sponsoring an activity that includes the use of the bike trails, there are guidelines that need to be followed. Please call the Parks and Recreation office at 515-278-3963 for more information. Miscellaneous Information The majority of our programs are held on school grounds. As such, there is to be no smoking or consuming of alcoholic beverages on school grounds - by participants or spectators! We schedule our activities in cooperation with the Urbandale and Waukee School Districts, but unforeseen conflicts do arise. Please be understanding when times or locations have to be changed - school programs do have first priority! Programs also come up during the year that have not been included in our Program Guide. Look for press releases in the Urbandale Register and our website at www.urbandale.org regarding upcoming activities offered by Urbandale Parks and Recreation.

INFORMATION Please don’t Feed the Waterfowl! While it may be tempting to Feed the ducks and geese at City Parks, doing so is actually quite harmful. Human food causes malnutrition in waterfowl. Their delayed migration as a result, increases disease, erodes the landscape, and pollutes the water. Please help us preserve the balance of nature, the beauty of the parks and quality of life for neighbors - do not Feed the ducks and geese! Thank you for your cooperation. For more information, contact Urbandale Parks & Recreation at 515-278-3963. Urbandale Community Theatre http://www.urbandaletheatre.com. All ages and talent levels are encouraged to be involved.

SUMMER 2018

GENERAL INFORMATION

DUNLAP MASTER PLAN Jackaline Baldwin Dunlap Park and Arboretum: 40 Years in the Making

Jackaline and Paul Dunlap began their secret garden in 1974 when they started purchasing the farmland around their Urbandale home, eventually transforming the cornfield into a 12-acre outdoor retreat full of natural beauty. The couple wanted to create a space that was reminiscent of Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prairie past, while also incorporating unique and rare plant and tree species not historically found in Iowa. Jackalineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dream from the beginning was to share the arboretum with the community and ensure its beauty was protected for future generations to enjoy. In 2012, the couple gifted the arboretum and meadow to the City of Urbandale, entrusting the City to continue efforts to realize the vision for the park and celebrate the legacy of Jackaline and Paul.

Master Planning Process The Jackaline Baldwin Dunlap Park and Arboretum Master Plan provides an overarching vision for the park and arboretum, while also providing a guiding map for strategic improvements for the next 20 years. The overall inspiration for the Master Plan is to create different experience areas that highlight the importance of environmental stewardship, create a variety of outdoor learning spaces for people of all ages, and pay homage to the legacy of Jackaline and Paul. You can view the entire plan at www.Urbandale.org/DunlapPark The Master Planning process began with a kick-off meeting to discuss existing park conditions, long-term goals for the park and arboretum, and specific additions and upgrades that should be considered. ISG then conducted a Level 2 Tree Assessment to inventory current plant material at the park and offer suggestions for pruning, replacement, or removal. City staff held a series of meetings and a public open house to discuss progress and solicit feedback. Input was received from residents, Jackaline Baldwin Dunlap Foundation Board members, and other community leaders on features they would like developed further, aspects of the park and arboretum they would like to see unchanged, and additional park features that should be considered in the Master Planning process. These comments and additions were considered and incorporated into this final Master Plan document.

The Des Moines Bicycle Collective (a 501.c3 non-profit) will be in the Urbandale City Hall parking lot (3600 86th St.) on Saturday, April 21 from 8AM - Noon collecting your used bicycles instead having to throw them out.

ADULT PROGRAMS Yoga with Beth

For many years, yoga has helped people of all ages and walks of life improve their sense of health and well-being. Yoga combines fluid movements with focused and attentive breathing. This aligns the mind and spirit with the physical body, creating a perfect “union”, or “yoga”. In today’s hectic world, daily stresses and constant mental distractions put tension into our bodies, sometimes to the point of making us ill. The purpose of yoga is to soothe the inner spirit by calming the mind and body. Yoga poses help slow us down, and we naturally become more focused and relaxed. As students grow in their yoga experience, the poses become more challenging, allowing the body to grow stronger and more limber. At any level, the benefits of yoga are the same-stronger muscular endurance, sharpened mental clarity, deeper flexibility, improved circulation and immunity and above all a heightened sense of well-being. Let yoga start you on a journey you can enjoy for a lifetime-body, mind and spirit! This class is for active individuals who are injury-free. Sessions last 3, 4, 5 or 6 weeks. Instructor: Beth Damm.

Beginning a yoga practice can be intimidating and overwhelming. To help you get started, we’ve created an introductory series for several different yoga styles.

We will work at a slower pace, spend extra time to explain and work through poses, give modifications when needed, and give you support as you develop your new yoga practice.
