Conquering Mt. Mazama and more Linn Cooper didn’t know if she could make it all the way around Crater Lake when she signed up for the bike tour. Who could blame her?

She is 68 years old – but she was looking for an adventure.

“I love how welcoming and challenging the Recreation trips are,” she says. “The price is reasonable … and the trip leaders are very knowledgeable.”

Lynn signs up for many Recreation classes – including Zumba, Boot Camp, Total Body Fitness, and a variety of the presentations – but a 24-mile hilly bike ride at a high elevation (on a 3-speed bicycle!) was a different proposition.

“The glorious memories of the beauty and … all the people cheering me on to finish are going to stay with me.”

Recreation offers a wide variety outdoor experiences, as well as exercise and water fitness classes for all levels of exertion.All adult trips are rated 1-5 for the intensity of activity required.

Sheldon Pool and skin divers share a 25-year history You might not think of Eugene as a SCUBA diving mecca, but for thousands of recreational divers, it all started at Sheldon Pool.

Eugene Aquatics Section Manager Rich Fay says the number of years the dive shop has rented the pool makes the relationship feel like a partnership. Learn more www.eugeneskindivers.com.

Many City of Eugene facilities are available for rent, including swimming pools and community centers and parks. For more information, call the facility you would like to rent (see pages 4-5). To rent a park, call 541-682-4800.

For the past 25 years, Eugene Skin Divers Supply has rented the diving well at Sheldon to teach SCUBA diving. Many students want to learn to SCUBA in anticipation of a vacation near the ocean.

Determination and serendipity lead to first senior center

Eugene physician Dr. Eva Johnson started the ball rolling with the will of her sister, Celeste Campbell, who had died in 1957. She had been an avid outdoors person so it was not surprising that she bequested $50,000 in her will for parkland, specifying a preference for the Skinner Butte area.

Creation of the Celeste Campbell Senior Center was “a convergence of generosity, community effort and serendipitous timing,” says Bruce Steinmetz, the author of a history of Eugene Recreation.

The owner knocked $20,000 off the price and with the help of four community-minded citizens, the purchase was made.

In 1958, the Emerald Empire Council for the Aging opened an activity center Parks & Rec for seniors in a former Looking Back church building, but had to – move to an old play shed at the former Lincoln Elementary School in 1961.

The City identified a good site for a new Senior Center: the old Northwest Central Heating office building on land near the Willamette River. The property was expensive, however, at $120,000.

Campbell Center was the second senior center established on the West Coast, joining one in San Francisco, and it quickly became known as a national innovator.

Campbell Center recently celebrated its 50th year providing a welcoming place for adults. To learn more about Campbell Center and the many activities presented there, come to the Newcomers’ Social on January 9 or April 17 (see page 60), or call 541-682-5318.

Rec sets trends, heads outdoors Innovations made at Campbell Senior Center in the 1960s set trends nationwide. More than a nutrition site, it became a place of activity, with events and social interactions every Parks & Rec day. It was the first senior Looking Back center to offer an extensive – outdoor program and bus excursions. Early director Cuma Smith helped develop the standards set by the National Institute of Senior Centers.

In 1966, Eugene Recreation added an Outdoor/ Environmental program to be led by Mel Jackson, a renowned guide, educator and protector of Oregon’s rivers and natural environment. He founded the Eugene Mountain Rescue, and he took Governor Bob Straub and state legislators on Willamette River canoe trips to promote formation of the Willamette Greenway – an event documented in National Geographic.

Mel Jackson

Some say the 1960s through the 1970s were the “Golden Age” for Eugene Recreation. In 1969 the Sports Foundation, Inc. named Eugene Parks and Recreation winner of the Gold Medal Award for Excellence in the Field of Parks and Recreation Management for a city of its size (50,000-100,000 residents).

The 1966 bond measure for Parks and Recreation asked voters to approve construction of community centers at Westmoreland Park, Sheldon Meadows Park and Amazon Park; plus indoor pools at the Sheldon site and in the Bethel neighborhood.

Former Recreation Superintendent Dave Pompel said, “Good recreation programs were a real priority. Some people took it as a right of living in Eugene, almost like public education.” The measure passed.

Eugene Recreation’s Outdoor Program today offers an array of activities from skateboarding to hiking, and surfing to whitewater rafting. Many are for families. See all the Outdoor activities offered this winter and spring on pages 20-25.

To celebrate its 10th year, Eugene Parks Foundation seeks support for Recreation Scholarships that provide access to recreation programs for community members who otherwise could not participate.

By partially funding activities, the scholarships help bring the cost of activities within reach. Here’s how two recent scholarship recipients described the program’s impact on their lives: “With the scholarship, my preschoolers have been able to take swimming lessons and my baby was able to take the infant class – a first for our family.” – Kristen, mother of five “I cannot afford to pay for any extracurricular activities because I am on a tight budget.

But thanks to this program, my kids are not left out.” – Assitan, single mother of four

Please donate today to expand access to valuable recreation programs.
