F R O M D U R H A M PA R K S & R E C R E AT I O N ' S D I R E C T O R There are many exciting things that Parks and Recreation is working on throughout the community to make Durham a better place to live and play! It was hard to choose just one to focus on, so I included a few: A DPR-led team attended the 2014 Playful City USA Leader Summit in Chicago Recently Durham was one of 12 cities nationwide invited to present a Bold Goal and Big Idea that would significantly increase the “playability” of our city. Our team developed a plan to promote the use of elementary school playgrounds when school is not in session. The plan was well received at the summit and the team will reconvene soon to set next steps to implementation. The comment was that our plan was “simple but elegant!” Half-Penny Tax for Park and Trail Maintenance Updates In July City Council approved a half-penny tax dedicated to park and trail maintenance, which will total approximately 1.2 million over the next year. Here are a few projects that are on the schedule to be completed with that extra funding. - The safety surfacing material for the playground at Cook Road Park will be replaced in November. The playground will be closed for about a month for this renovation. - Paving in park parking lots: River Forest Park, Lyon Park and Rockwood Park gravel parking lots will be paved for the first time. Previously paved lots in Whippoorwill Park, Spruce Pine Lodge, and Sherwood Park will have new paving, and Elmira Avenue Park and Rock Quarry Park lots will get some paving repairs. - Restrooms: We are currently working on a “standard repair plan” for updating all old park restrooms, including stainless steel appliances and accessibility upfits as possible. Forest Hills Park, Northgate Park, and West Point on the Eno Park have been appraised and are scheduled to be completed this spring. Mountains-to-Sea Trail dedication The trail in Durham/Orange counties was officially dedicated at a celebration at West Point on the Eno Park on October 19. Howard Lee, Chair of the Friends of the Mountains to Sea group, moderated the celebration and ribbon-cutting; officials from North Carolina state parks, Durham County, Orange County, and the City of Durham attended. Durham is the first county outside the western mountains in which the entire trail length has been completed. None of this would be possible without the continued support of the residents of Durham. Stay tuned for more updates.

ADOPT-A-PARK and ADOPT-A-TRAIL PROGRAMS A Great Way to Give Back - Adopt a Park or Trail! Volunteers from all over the community support Durham’s parks and trails through the Adopt-A-Park and Adopt-A-Trail (APAT) programs. This program is a great opportunity for you or your organization to make a positive difference in your community. Since 2003, community groups have supported their community by adopting parks and trail segments in Durham. DPR manages nearly 1,800 acres of parkland in more than 68 parks and more than 25 miles of greenways, and we’re still growing. The assistance we receive from adopting agencies is invaluable as we make every effort to care for our natural resources.

Services Departments provide routine park maintenance and repairs; however, the adopting individuals and organizations give the park or trail the extra care and attention it needs. Adopters work on a variety of projects of their choosing. They have assisted with numerous cleanup, landscaping, and facility improvement projects. Any individual or organization interested in bettering our parks and trails can adopt. For additional information on the Adopt-A-Park and Adopt-A Trail programs, please visit our website: www.DPRPlayMore. org. You may also contact Mal Atkinson, at 919-5604355 or dprvolunteers@durhamnc.gov.
