Fall for adventure

Fired up for the future

Eugene Rec is making an upcoming change to how some of our community centers operate, a change designed to ensure we can continue offering highquality recreation programs in a sustainable way.

Later this year, Amazon Community Center, Sheldon Community Center and the River House Outdoor Center will transition to a program-based model. These facilities will continue to host Eugene Rec programs, classes, camps and activities, but they will no longer have drop-in hours or public lobby access.

This change reflects Eugene Rec’s effort to make the best use of our current resources and maximize the impact we have on the community we serve. Like the rest of the City, our department is working within real budget constraints, and this model lets us focus staff time and funding on the programs and services that reach the most people, rather than scaling those programs back.

Most community members already use these centers through scheduled programs rather than

2 541-682-5333

unscheduled drop-in visits. Shifting to a programbased model allows Eugene Rec to focus staff time and funding where they have the greatest impact, directly supporting recreation opportunities for youth, adults and families.

This transition allows us to operate more efficiently and consistently, helping ensure that programs are reliable, well-supported and able to adapt to changing community needs over time.

We recognize that community centers play an important role in the neighborhoods they serve.

Our commitment remains unchanged: Eugene Rec will continue to show up through meaningful programs and partnerships at these locations.

Adventure. Community. Happiness.
