WINTER/SPRING 2020

GENERAL INFORMATION

MIRACLE FIELD

Spring Miracle League

The Miracle League is a FREE baseball/softball league for children with special needs from age 5 – 18 and adults 19 and older. The Miracle League is just like baseball. Players will bat, round the bases, catch, throw, and hit Home Runs! There are a few differences in how the game is played. • Each player has a buddy that gets to assist them. • Each player will bat once each inning. • Every player is safe, no one is out. • Every player will score a run before the inning is over. • The last player up hits a HOME RUN. • Every game ends in a tie. • A game will last two innings or an hour. • Special rubberized playing surface. Urbandale Parks and Recreation will assign players to teams after registration is complete. Each team will need at least two parent coaches. No minimums or maximums. Registration Deadline: April 17 Season April 26 – June 7

ANGELS IN THE OUTFIELD We also need volunteers to be Angels in the Outfield. Each player has a buddy that gets to spend the game with them. Buddies can be ages 13 and older. As a buddy you will protect the player at all times and assist when needed, helping them to play as much as possible. Support all the players with high fives, knuckles, and cheering. Enjoy the players and your experience. If you, your company, or organization would like to be Angels in the Outfield for the Urbandale Miracle League, please contact Chris Barkema, Recreation Coordinator at cbarkema@urbandale.org for more information.

URBANDALE PARKS & RECREATION

ALL INCLUSIVE PLAYGROUND The playground is designed to provide opportunities for children of all ages and abilities, including those with special needs, to enjoy using the equipment and participating in fun outdoor activities. The playground has a cushioned rubberized surface to help prevent injuries and has a completely flat surface to eliminate any barriers for wheelchair users and blind participants.

HELP MAKE THIS PLAYGROUND A REALITY Through the City of Urbandale’s Bridge the Gap Campaign, you can be a part of the All-Inclusive Playground (AIP). For just $300.00 you can choose a message to be engraved on a 4”x8” brick to be installed by the playground. Recognize a special person in your life, donate in memory of someone, or commemorate a special occasion. You can engrave up to three lines of text with 12 characters per line. Donors will receive a tax deduction receipt.

BRIDGE THE GAP AND ORDER ONLINE You can pay for your engraved bricks via cash, check, or by credit card online. If paying by check, please make payable to: Urbandale All-Inclusive Playground. Mail donations to Urbandale Parks & Recreation, 3600 86th Street, Urbandale IA, 50322 To pay by credit/debit card go to the AIP website at www.urbandale.org/playground. If you have any questions, please contact Jan Herke at 515-331-6793 or email jherke@urbandale.org For your orders, please enter your text exactly how you want it to appear on the brick. All engraved text is automatically centered.

MORE THAN 20,000 CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS RESIDE IN THE GREATER METRO AREA. Des Moines and Ankeny are homes to All-Inclusive Playgrounds, however, a playground like this does not exist for youth in the western suburbs. Please consider making a donation to help support this special project! Check out the website for more information on giving levels and donation opportunities. With your help and support we can make the all-inclusive playground a reality! www.Urbandale.org/ Playground

REGISTRATION INFORMATION

URBANDALE PARKS & RECREATION

REGISTRATION INFORMATION CONFIRMATIONS Will I receive a confirmation that I am enrolled in a class when I mail my registration? If you have an e-mail associated with your account, a receipt will automatically be e-mailed to you. You will be notified if a class is cancelled or changed. CLASS CANCELLATION Why would my program be cancelled? All Parks and Recreation Programs are run assuming minimum numbers are met. If registration does not meet the minimum, we will cancel the program a few days before it is set to begin. In this case, participants will be contacted and will receive a full refund. WEATHER CANCELLATIONS Classes will automatically be cancelled on days when Urbandale Schools are closed due to weather. Evening classes will be cancelled if Urbandale Schools release early due to weather. Classes cancelled because of weather will be made up whenever possible. REFUND POLICY Registration fees for programs cancelled by Parks and Recreation will be fully refunded. Our instructors, in most instances, are hired on the basis of enrollment. For this reason, participant cancellations will be eligible for a refund ONLY if cancellation is made before the registration deadline. Refunds may take up to 2 to 3 weeks. TUITION ASSISTANCE The City of Urbandale and Urbandale Parks and Recreation recognizes that, under certain circumstances, individuals cannot afford the program fees. If you are unable to pay full tuition for any of the Parks and Recreation programs, call the Parks and Recreation office at 278-3963. Tuition assistance is available for Urbandale residents only, under age 18. PHOTO POLICY Occasionally photos may be taken of participants in the programs, classes, and activities or of people in the district’s parks. Please be aware that these photos may be used in future program guides, brochures, web site, pamphlets, flyers or news releases.

LOCATIONS Many classes are held at Urbandale and Waukee Schools. When the class location says “High School”, that indicates “Urbandale High School”. The City of Urbandale would like to thank the Urbandale and Waukee Community School Districts for allowing free use of school facilities! Please be aware that schedules may change due to school events. BEHAVIOR In keeping with our program goals, we encourage fun for all of our participants. However, certain rules are necessary to ensure everyone’s safety and enjoyment. Participants are expected to: 1. Show respect for all participants and staff. 2. Refrain from using foul language. 3. Refrain from causing bodily harm to participants or staff. 4. Show respect for equipment, supplies and facilities. If our staff has concerns about a participant’s behavior, the adult participant or child’s parent/guardian will be consulted immediately. If inappropriate behavior continues, we will re-evaluate the participant's enrollment. WAITING LISTS Waiting lists are kept for classes that have reached maximum enrollment. We make every possible effort to add or expand these classes, depending on instructor and space availability. Names will remain on the waiting list until the day the program begins, in case an opening becomes available. Participants on the waiting list will be contacted if an opening becomes available. INSURANCE AND WAIVERS OF LIABILITY Individual accident and medical insurance for program participants is not provided by the City of Urbandale or Urbandale or Waukee School Districts. To participate in any Parks and Recreation Program, you must agree to a waiver releasing the city and school districts from any and all liability. The waiver is on the registration form and also when you register online. It must be signed prior to participating in a program.

Where, Oh Where Can My Little Dog Go? Here’s the scoop! Dogs and their owners are welcome in our parks - as long as the pets are on a 6 foot 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 in the center of this guide. 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 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 on our social media pages and our website at www.urbandale.org regarding upcoming activities offered by Urbandale Parks and Recreation.

Urbandale Tree Board For more information about the Urbandale Tree Board, please contact Kevin James, Assistant Director, at kjames@urbandale.org. TV STATION Check out Urbandale News & Events on Mediacom Channel 86. Tennis Courts Lighted tennis courts are located at South Karen Acres Park, Walker Johnston Park, and Lions Park. All courts are open to the public FREE of charge except at times when there are instruction classes and competitions. Please honor these exceptions. Court courtesy applies. Available 6 AM - 10:30PM. Pickleball Courts The additional lines painted on the Lions Park, South Karen Acres Park, and Walker Johnston Park tennis courts are for Pickleball! What is that?

GENERAL INFORMATION

URBANDALE PARKS & 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.

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 samestronger 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 either 3, 4 or 5 weeks. Max: 30 participants at Lions Shelter, 55 at Senior Center. Instructor: Beth Damm. Registration Deadlines: One week before class begins Session
