Having the ability to swim at a very low rate has been wonderful for me– I recently reached my 100 pound weight-loss goal!

Gateway to great outdoor experiences The River House is the home of Eugene Recreation’s Outdoor Program. As the name implies, the vast majority of the program’s activities occur outdoors. Eugene and its environs provide the perfect setting for the wide range of activities offered by the Outdoor Program. They include hiking, biking, rock climbing, skiing, interpretive walks in local parks, snowshoeing, adaptive skiing, surfing, skateboarding, rafting, sailing and kayaking for individuals and families.

The Outdoor Program also includes the Spencer Butte Challenge Course. Programs there are

custom designed for your group, to create fun and engaging opportunities to observe group dynamics, set achievable goals, and focus on solutions. Staff designs programs for youth, families, adults, non-profits, and corporate groups.

Many of the activities offered by the Outdoor Program are focused on teaching new skills to individuals from youth to adults through experiential learning. No matter what your age, when you learn a new skill, your brain grows new neural pathways that make the skill easier the next time you do it. Experiential learning is the basis of Eugene Recreation’s motto: Building bodies and brains while having fun playing games.

The realization of a dream

Finally, at 23,000 square feet, the park is the largest public, lit and covered skatepark in the U.S. The skatepark will operate year-round, regardless of what Mother Nature dishes out. And the Urban Plaza will provide an area for spectators to relax, as well as offer additional space for a variety of community gatherings and events.

Calling it “no ordinary skatepark” is no exaggeration.

The Washington-Jefferson Skatepark + Urban Plaza was 10 years in the making. In 2004, 1,700 skaters petitioned the Eugene City Council to build a covered, lit skatepark that they could skate on year-round.

The prospects for such a venue were daunting; it would cost millions. But supporters persisted and the City Council approved the new park. It was funded by City fees, grants, and donations.

The skatepark is designed by one

of the most respected names in skatepark design and construction, Dreamland Skateparks. It has something for all skill levels, along with skateable art, including a river theme, to stay true to our area.

Woman gives back by swimming her age Swimming your age in laps might not sound too difficult – unless you’re 72 like Karen Howland. She’s been swimming since she was six and has been a regular at Sheldon Pool since the 1990s. She began swimming her age three years ago in honor of her granddaughter, Lauren, who is a cancer survivor.

Karen wanted to give back to the Children’s Cancer Association’s MusicRX that comforted Lauren during months of treatment with soothing music or crafts to divert

Lauren’s attention from the chemotherapy’s side effects.

To raise funds to support that organization, Karen began taking pledges three years ago for each lap she swam on her birthday. So far, she raised nearly $4000. And, this year, more than $1,000 has already been pledged. Now, Karen just has to swim the laps.

She’ll swim her age in laps on April 19, beginning at 9 a.m. at Sheldon Pool. It will take her

Woodshop Orientation

Still going strong after fifty-plus years Celeste Campbell Center has provided recreation activities for adults, age 55 and up, since 1962. The Senior and Adult Program promotes health and well-being, strengthens support networks, and assists individuals to remain independent. Research shows that just 30 minutes of daily exercise can positively impact weight, and reduce the risk of type II diabetes, some cancers and other lifethreatening diseases, and significantly improve cognitive function.

Campbell Center offers a variety of activities that make exercising fun, including walking

and biking groups, a variety of dance classes, outdoor recreation, tai chi, and more. Campbell also offers classes in art, handcrafts, computers, and Spanish, as well as social events, weekly lunch bunch, and presentations on topics ranging from estate planning to “Can the Clutter.” Day trips and woodworking in Campbell’s woodshop are other popular activities.

Campbell Center is located in Skinner Butte Park, with a view of the river and an outdoor courtyard that makes a great setting for weddings.

Something for everyone and every age Once just a barn, Petersen Barn Community Center today is home to Eugene Recreation’s Youth & Family, and Adult & Senior programs.

Pete Barn has a pre-school as well as classes for toddlers, teens, and adults. Many activities at the Barn focus on creating community, such as the annual We Are Bethel Celebration that brings West Eugene neighbors together, and First Friday Family Fun Nights that provide family activities and dinner for free. The Barn also houses the Eugene and Bethel Teen Courts that allow juvenile offenders to avoid incarceration.

Another important service at Pete Barn is out-of-school care. Law enforcement officials say that when young people are without responsible adult supervision or constructive activities, juvenile crime triples.

However, when young people have access to quality recreation programs, they have more opportunities to succeed academically, have higher aspirations, and are better prepared to enter post-secondary school and the marketplace … where they will contribute to the community.

MEDICAL TOURISM

Recreation creates assets for growth Sheldon Community Center provides recreation activities as part of the Youth & Family program. Home to KidCity, the center offers a pre-school, as well as day care and after school care programs.

All staff are trained in a philosophy which identifies a set of 40 developmental assets – skills, experiences, relationships, and behaviors – that help young people develop into successful and contributing adults. Developed by the Search Institute, this philosophy simply states that when young people have more of these 40 key assets in their lives, they are less likely to use drugs, be violent, or drink.

In short, the more assets a young person has, the more likely they are to succeed in many aspects of life.

Year-round out-of-school recreation is another important service. Research shows that most juvenile crime, vandalism and injuries occur between 3:00 and 8:00 p.m. – after school but before their parents get home. Sheldon Center provides a safe place for those children to be, where they are nurtured and encouraged to reach their full potential.

Sheldon also provides activities for adults and families, including day trips to regional points of interest, social events, and exercise classes.

Youth & Family Recreation Services provides recreation and education programs for children, teens, adults and families, including outdoor/ environmental activities, preschool education, out-of-school programs, free summer playground sites, seasonal camp programs, the challenge course, visual and performing arts, and peer-managed alternatives to the juvenile justice system.

An additional Release from Liability Agreement, signed by the participant or guardian, may be required for participation in some activities.

Photographs, videos and audios of participants in Recreation Services programs may be used by the City of Eugene in any medium (e.g., print publications, Internet, etc.) for publicity purposes, without compensation or permission.
