Park Partners Highlight It takes a village. City of Jefferson Parks, Recreation and Forestry is supported by several local organizations who assist us in providing programs, events, and park amenities. Here are just a few groups who help us make Jefferson City a wonderful place to live and visit.

Osage Regional Trail Association

Jefferson City High School Key Club

Healthy Schools Healthy Communities

Have you experienced the mountain biking and hiking trails at Binder Park and Frog Hollow Nature Trail?

Ever heard someone complaining about “kids these days”? They weren’t talking about JC Key Club.

These quality trails are the outcome of hours and hours of volunteer work put in by Osage Regional Trail Association. Started in 1996, the group of mountain bikers and hikers are interested in designing and building natural surface, eco-friendly trails. ORTA uses the International Mountain Biking Associations guide lines for trail building, the most advanced techniques used today.

This remarkable group of young adults identifies community needs and creates opportunities for students at JCHS to get involved in their community. Key Club will communicate with internal and external publics about community service opportunities and accomplishments of JC students in the Jefferson City area on the local, state, national, and international levels.

The guiding principle with HSHC is to reduce childhood obesity in our community by 5% within 5 years with the assistance of Missouri Foundation for Health and local partners.

Along with being a great partner for City of Jefferson Parks, Recreation and Forestry, ORTA also assists Columbia Parks and Recreation; Missouri State Parks; and United States Forestry Service.

Every year, JC Key Club partners with City of Jefferson Parks, Recreation and Forestry to host Paint the People 5K to raise funds for United Way of Central Missouri.

Find details on Facebook or by contacting orta@mchsi.com.

For more information, visit jckeyclub.com or contact keyclub@jcschools.us.

City of Jefferson Parks, Recreation and Forestry has benefitted from this partnership in so many ways, including the implemenation of Healthy Concessions, cooking classes at The Linc, and installation of water bottle refill stations at several of our parks. Find details on Facebook or contact Ashley Varner, Capital Region Medical Center Healthy Communities Coordinator, at (573) 632-5605 or avarner@crmc.org.
