Letter from the Mayor

Greetings:

I am proud to present the City of Atlanta’s Department of Parks and Recreation’s 2014 Fall Guide. Fall is a busy season in Atlanta, as children return back to school for the start of another academic year. The arrival of cooler weather also means more enjoyable time to spend outside; and to enjoy the 33 recreation centers and parks throughout our city.

This fall, I am proud to announce the new Tots & Rec programming, which provides Atlanta’s youngest residents with athletic, cultural, and educational experiences that both parents and little ones can enjoy. Tots & Rec offers stimulating and interactive activities that are fun and educational for children ages five and under. As the school year begins, the Centers of Hope Afterschool Program is back to offer an environment where students can receive academic support, engage in health and fitness activities, and enhance their leadership and character development skills. The 14 afterschool program locations will provide snacks and hot meals to all registered students.

I am also excited to announce that earlier this year, I appointed Amy Phuong as the new interim commissioner for the Department of Parks and Recreation. Amy brings expertise from her current role as the City of Atlanta’s first chief service officer, where she helps to engage Atlantans in community service, and channels volunteers towards the greatest areas of need. I am confident that Amy’s experience, vision and exceptional commitment to public service will help deliver on our promise to expand recreational opportunities and green space for our city’s children and families.

You can find additional information on programs and registration for programs and facilities on iPARCS (internet parks, arts & recreation customer service.) The iPARCS system easily and conveniently allows users to browse Department of Park, Recreation and Cultural Affairs programming, facilities and schedules. Users are also able to register and pay for classes and reserve space at our pavilions and fields online.

I encourage our residents to take advantage of these and many more recreational opportunities our city has to offer. Please visit www.atlantaga.gov and www.atlantaga.gov/ iparcs for more information. Thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,

Kasim Reed

Greetings:

Letter

from the Commissioner

A memorable walk, that cold splash of water, the thrilling match point, new exposure to nature’s fun creatures, your very first picnic or 30th family reunion: these and many enriching experiences happen every day in one of our 500+ parks and recreation spaces all across this great city. As a native Atlantan, I’m honored and excited to serve as your new Interim Commissioner for the Department of Parks and Recreation.

First, I would like to thank and acknowledge my predecessor, George Dusenbury, for his leadership and public service to the Department and the city, and for spearheading many of the recent green space and recreation initiatives Atlantans are able to enjoy today. As we go forward, the Department is well-positioned to continue to fulfill Mayor Kasim Reed’s vision of revitalizing neighborhoods, providing quality of life amenities, and sparking excitement in the lives of Atlanta’s children and families.

Under my leadership, we will strive to be one of the best parks and recreation systems in the nation. We will do so by continuing to operate efficiently, provide youth development and community-centric programs, expand our parks presence, and increase the memorable experiences and playability of all of our assets.

As fall approaches, the Department of Parks and Recreation is excited for Atlanta residents to take full advantage of our enriching programming and facilities. Atlanta’s young people can gain exposure through career and academic-focused programs, character and leadership mentorship, health and fitness activities, and 21st century technology skills training. Through Centers of Hope, our youth will have invaluable and productive engagement led by our dedicated team members and community partners such as the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta and After School All-Stars.

We are also pleased to introduce our Tots & Rec programming; providing our earliest learners, ages 5 and under, with fun recreational and educational experiences. Atlanta’s tots can look forward to programs such as Aquatots, Tot Olympics, and superhero workshops. Atlanta’s adults can improve their wellness in a lively and enjoyable environment by participating in one of our many fitness classes such as Spin, I.Robics, Double Dutch Aerobics, and much more!

The Department of Parks and Recreation offers something that everyone can enjoy and fall is the perfect time of the year to experience all that parks and recreation has to offer. And we are always looking for suggestions so please drop us a note through iPARCS or with your local community recreation center.

Happy exploring!

Yours in Service,

Amy Phuong
