MISSION STATEMENT

The Beverly Recreation Department is dedicated to providing active and passive recreation through the use and enjoyment of the city’s extensive natural land, parks and coastal resources. We develop, promote, and oversee year-round programs and activities to stimulate good health, lifelong learning and a sense of community among our citizens. Beverly Recreation is dedicated to meeting the diverse needs of all residents, including the preservation and maintenance of open space.

Some classes fill quickly, so prompt registration should save your place! We must decide if a program will be held at least 10 days in advance of the start date. Many classes would have run if one more person, who tried to register late, had done it on time. We like to keep everyone happy.

2018 SUMMER CAMP REGISTRATION Summer Camp registration for Beverly residents will be taken on a first come/ first served basis starting on February 5th. We’re improving our administrative processes and will not use a lottery system for camp registration this year. Non-resident registration will begin on March 5th HOW TO REGISTER • Online at our website: www.bevrec.com.

Use the form in this brochure and make checks payable to the Beverly Recreation Department DEPOSITS • At the time of registration the following deposits will be due: $100 per camp session selected $10 for each Early or Late Care session selected WAIT LIST • Once sessions are full we will take a wait list. To get your child on this list, complete the wait list form on bevrec.com and mail it to bevrec@beverlyma.gov. We will contact you if an opening becomes available. There is no deposit required for the wait list. SESSION BALANCES • Will be due on the following schedule: Session 1: May 1, 2018 Session 2: May 1, 2018 Session 3: June 1, 2018 Session 4: June 1, 2018 CANCELLATIONS Once your registration has been processed, your deposit is not refundable or transferable and cannot be used to pay your balance for another child or program.

PLEASE READ THIS IMPORTANT NOTE ON POTTY TRAINING… All of our campers must be fully and reliably potty trained when they begin camp. This means that your child is able to recognize when they need to go, and can ask to use the potty outside of regularly scheduled bathroom trips. If your child is still having “mistakes” at home, we would not consider them to be potty trained. Counselors are not allowed to assist with diapering and as such, campers may not wear diapers or pull-ups to camp. We understand that the occasional potty mistakes still happen with the 3 to 5 year old camper, and so we will allow up to three accidents per session. If a fourth accident occurs within a session, the child will not be able to return to that camp session. Our Medical Director will assist with potty accidents, and guardians will be immediately notified. 25

ADVENTURE CAMP Are you ready to hike up legendary Mount Monadnock? Do you dare paddleboard out of Lynch Park and on to the open sea? Ready to swim through huge waves and lounge on the beaches of Cape Cod? Can you take on Superman The Ride at Six Flags without losing your lunch?? For kids going into 6th through 8th grade. This is a best seller! Day trips, overnight trips, games and crafts keep this group very busy. It’s a great balance between trying new things (like rock climbing and camping!), choosing activities you like, and spending time with your buddies. The success of this program lies with its creative and innovative staff who understand the maturing process of young teens. Campers build friendships and self-confidence, work on cooperative skills and learn real life responsibilities while having a great time.

A MESSAGE FROM THE RECREATION DIRECTOR Winter is starting after a mild fall and the holidays are in full gear. Things at Lynch Park are beautiful and we have been busy updating our offices to provide ADA accessibility to the building and we are creating new ADA compliant bathrooms for park visitors to use during the colder months when the office is open. Lynch Park is truly the “Gem of the North Shore”, just one of our many beautiful waterfront parks that provide so much enjoyment to guests year round. We would like to welcome Reini Perez to our staff as our new Recreation Facilities Coordinator. Reini will be responsible for tracking issues at our many parks and playgrounds in addition to monitoring the upkeep of our buildings and facilities at Lynch Park, Dane Street Beach, Obear Park and Camp Paradise. During the summer, Reini will oversee our park rangers and lifeguard staff to ensure public safety. We completed a new play structure at the Oak Heights Playground in Centerville with the help of many great neighbors participating in the community build over a couple of weeks in October. Special thanks to Joanne O’Donnell for keeping us on track and recruiting so many great volunteers! We could not do projects like this without the help of dedicated neighbors. We are moving forward with plans to build a fully ADA-compliant playground at Pete’s Park in Centerville as well as new play structures at Vittori Park, Colgate Park and Balch Playground in 2018. We are also planning to repair over $150,000 worth of playground equipment at parks throughout Beverly to resolve issues caused by vandalism and wear and tear to the equipment at our 28 playgrounds. We are very lucky to have the continued generous support of the Beverly Community Preservation Committee to fund these projects and many more around the city. This group works incredibly hard to help many groups in Beverly fund projects that will continue to make Beverly an amazing place to live. I would also like to thank the David S. Lynch Trustees for continuing their financial support of improvements to our public parks and open spaces. Without these two groups, we could not do any of these great projects. Many thanks to Mayor Cahill and the Department of Public Services for their continued support of these projects and the many other improvements to parks and open spaces in Beverly. We are very lucky to have such beautiful recreational resources in Beverly for everyone to enjoy. We continue to plan for the 2018 summer season. Many thanks to our full-time staff for their dedication throughout the year and to our summer staff and CIT volunteers for their hard work every summer. We look forward to continuing to serve you and wish you all a Happy New Year. Thank you very much for your continued support during my 15 years as Bev Rec Director. I look forward to hearing from you and helping to make your leisure time for you and your families healthy and enjoyable. Feel free to send us ideas for programs and improvements.

BEVERLY DOG ORDINANCE These rules regarding use of Beverly parks to walk dogs were amended by the City Council on 2/16/2016. The ordinance regarding dogs is now Article III, Chapter 117, Sections 117-5. Disposal of animal waste, 117-10. Dogs on beaches and in parks, 117-13. Dog control: - All dogs must be on a leash at all times while in public parks - Owners must pick up after dogs to keep the parks clean - All parks are closed to the public at 10:00PM - Dogs are prohibited from all municipal cemeteries, per ordinance Article III, Chapter 117: Animals, Section 117-13.c

LYNCH PARK

PET WASTE REMINDERS

Memorial Day to Labor Day - Dogs are not allowed at Lynch Park after 7:30AM - On-leash dogs are only allowed in the park from 6:00AM to 7:30AM Labor Day to Memorial Day - Only on-leash dogs are allowed in the park from 6:00AM to 10:00PM

Pollutants from improperly disposed pet waste may be washed into storm sewers or melting snow. Storm sewers do not go to the SESD treatment plant. Instead most storm sewers drain into streams, lakes or along the coast carrying many pollutants along with storm water.

LINDSAY PARK, INDEPENDENCE PARK, BEVERLY COMMON, DIX PARK, COLGATE PARK & COONEY FIELD

When pet waste is disposed of improperly, your health may be at risk, too. Pets, children who play outside, and adults who garden are most at risk for infections from some of the bacteria and parasites found in pet waste. Flies may also spread diseases from animal's waste.

Year Round - Only on-leash dogs are allowed in the parks from 6:00AM-10:00PM

Beverly’s dog population is estimated at 4000 and using that statistic as a baseline, it would suggest a “solid waste” of about 1600 pounds every day.

PLEASE NOTE: Independence Park - Dogs are not allowed on the beach from 8:00AM to 7:30PM Cooney Field - Dogs are only allowed beyond outfield fence of baseball field All Other Parks - Dogs are not allowed on the beaches during times that they are not allowed in the parks

Pet waste may not be the largest or most toxic pollutant in urban waterways, but it is one of the many little sources of pollutants that add up to a big problem for water quality. Fortunately, there are simple things we can do to keep water clean.

ALL OTHER BEVERLY PARKS Memorial Day to Labor Day - Dogs are not allowed in any public park from 7:30AM to 7:30PM - Dogs are only allowed in the parks from 6:00AM to 7:30AM and from 7:30PM to 10:00PM Labor Day to Memorial Day - Only on-leash dogs are allowed in the park from 6:00AM to 10:00PM PLEASE NOTE: On-leash dogs are allowed to use all Beverly parks during the above hours but are not allowed on any ball fields or in any playground areas, sand boxes or garden areas at any time.

Cleaning up after your pet can be as simple as taking a plastic bag or pooper-scooper along on your next walk. What should you do with the waste you pick up? No solution is perfect, but here are the choices: Flush it down your toilet goes or private septic ants before the

the toilet– The water from to the SESD treatment plant system that removes pollutwater reaches a water body.

Bury it in the yard– Dig a hole or trench about 5 inches deep, away from vegetable gardens and water bodies (lakes, streams, wells, oceans), or ditches with water. Throw it in the trash– This may be easy, but it is not the best solution. After collection, the waste is taken to an incinerator that can cause pollution problems. Another option is to install an underground pet waste digester that works like a small septic tank.
