From the Executive Director

Partnerships open doors to more services We believe in partnerships.

Recreation’s partnerships with local and regional organizations help improve services to you and the community. They help provide more services and fill gaps in services other organizations can’t provide.

Recreation partners with more than 200 local and regional organizations and in each of those partnerships, both organizations are better off. In some cases, we exchange resources; Recreation has a meeting place that the partner organization uses to provide a service. In other partnerships, Recreation is able to increase our service capacity by using the staff or expertise of another organization.

We also partner with organizations to apply for grants when the two of us together present a stronger case for fulfilling the grant than either separately. Partnerships with organizations that serve similar clientele can give Recreation access to customers who often are underserved and unaware of how we can assist them. Likewise, many of our partners need help from Recreation to reach their potential customers.

Partnerships can also make new services possible through management agreements which are business arrangements. The City allows a managing company to use City property or a City facility free of charge. The managing company, in turn, charges a fee to provide a desired service to the public.

(The new disk golf course, featured on the cover, is a good example.)

Partnerships have served Eugene Recreation and the residents of Eugene well. We will continue to seek new and innovative ways to use partnerships to provide excellent service to more residents as efficiently and inexpensively as possible.

Recreational activities can help youth learn how to negotiate with peers, resolve conflicts, and work together for common goals. Additionally, studies show that through recreation, youth can also develop relationships with non-parents who may serve as important mentors or role models and are often central to helping youth develop into healthy adults.

Recreation employees are trained to work with youth in the context of the 40 Developmental Assets, which identifies a set of skills, experiences, relationships, and behaviors that enable young people to develop into successful and contributing adults.

Recreation: it’s good for your brain, too Eugene Recreation’s motto, “Building bodies and brains while having fun playing games,” is backed up by science.

Research suggests that exercise increases the production of brain growth factors that stimulate the creation and survival of brain cells, and promotes the development of connections among cells in response to new information. Both processes are linked to increases in

gray matter volume, a measure of brain health.

These findings add to evidence that regular exercise increases the ability to deal with stress and improves cognitive functioning.

Dr. Sylvia, one of the study’s authors, noted, “Higher levels of exercise result in the greatest cognitive improvements, but we also know that 30 minutes per day of moderate-intensity exercise, five days per week – are associated with very good improvements in brain health. Breaking up the 30-minutes up into five chunks throughout the day is also effective – workouts don’t have to be overly strenuous.”

Recreation offers a wide variety of ways to get your 150 minutes of exercise a week: from group classes to individual lap swims, hikes, dancing, playing sports, martial arts, yoga, and more. Check out the Adult Health and Fitness section for details.

The center has a great room for large events, and classrooms for smaller group activities. Located in the Bethel District, the center occupies a corner of Petersen Barn Park, which has a playground, sports fields, bike paths, and accessible parking.

Events, classes and activities offered by the Senior and Adult Program promote health and well-being, strengthen support networks, and assist individuals to remain independent.
