10 Reasons for Personal Training 1. You have been working out on your own but aren’t seeing results.

2. You have committed to yourself to make a

change but you don’t know where to start.

3. You’re knowledgeable but bored with the

same old workouts. You just need a change of routine.

4. You are fit and fabulous but need to be challenged.

5. You can’t afford a trainer for very long, so you want to learn how to exercise on your own.

6. You need to be held accountable and need added motivation.

7. You have a specific illness, injury, or condition which limits you.

8. You’re training for a sport or event.

9. You want supervision and support during workouts, or guidance on proper form.

10. You may need someone to keep count for you, or just someone to talk to while working out.

LETTER from the

ADMINISTRATOR I cannot believe 2021 is almost over. It has been a busy, challenging, and ever-changing year. We slowly started adding and expanding programs, experiences, and operational amenities in an effort to reach pre-COVID services. We are almost back to 100% operations and hopefully in 2022 we will get there.

Our parks, trails, and outside activities have never been busier. This past year I have appreciated watching our community enjoy recent park renovations, the wave pool addition at Summit Waves, and the re-opening of Legacy Park Amphitheater. We continue to make large and small improvements to our parks system.

Park renovations like Lowenstein Park and Summit Park are easy to see and track but we have also made smaller improvements like, installing grills at many park locations, trail improvements in several parks, additional miles of trails, and upgrades to bioswales and landscaping to improve the beauty of our parks, as well as, positively impacting our environment.

This next year you can expect to see continued upgrades and improvements including renovations to Velie Park and Pleasant Lea Park, the addition of wayfinding signage at Legacy Park, a new shelter at Deer Valley Park, and, of course, our continued high level of maintenance and care in all of our parks. Recreation staff are also in the planning stages for full facility operations at our community centers and a full year of recreational activities, programs and special events. The new year is looking bright and we are excited to serve “Every Age, Every Season” in 2022.

Enjoy your parks,

Our Mission Statement and Affirmation

CAPRA Accredited

The Commission for Accreditation of Park and Recreation Agencies (CAPRA) administers a rigorous program based on self-assessment and peer review using national standards of best practice to better promote the quality of agency services and delivery systems. LSPR was initially accredited in 2003, re-accredited in 2008, again in 2013, and in 2018. Only five Missouri agencies have achieved this standard of compliance (Chesterfield, Clayton, Kansas City, Lee's Summit, and Springfield-Green County), and 183 nationally.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE In order for LSPR to ensure all residents have an opportunity to enjoy the benefits of the many programs offered, a special work program has been developed. The Work Program offers a trade in service hours to the department for financial assistance to participate in programs and activities. If circumstances prevent a patron from participating in the Work Program, a request can be made to utilize funding from the Angel Program, which is made possible through private donations and grants. Call 816-969-1500 or visit any of our locations for more information.

INCLUSIVE STATEMENT LSPR provides recreation programs which are open to all residents in the city and seeks and supports participation by all citizens with a variety of interests and abilities. If you or a family member needs accommodations or support to participate in LSPR programs, please contact us during the enrollment process.

WHY KEY FOBS? For your convenience! The Key FOB is easy to carry with you, as it slides onto your key ring. In addition, the Key FOB allows LSPR to better track attendance, to know who is using the facilities and saves time when registering for programs or swiping in at facilities. Stop by anytime to pick up your free Key FOB at any of our facilities so you can start carrying your Key to Fun! Replacement FOBs are $1.

SAY “CHEESE!” LSPR staff may take photos of activities. These photos may be used in future issues of Illustrated, on the website, social media pages, brochures, articles, ads, etc. Thanks for saying cheese! Camera Policy: No person shall use a camera, cell phone, or PDA in any changing room or washroom in LSPR facilities. Please report any actions to the contrary.

USE OF DRONES IN PARKS The operation of radio-controlled motorized aircraft in a park within LSPR jurisdiction is not permitted without prior approval from the Lee’s Summit Parks and Recreation Department. Permission to use a radio controlled motorized aircraft may be granted on a case by case basis if request demonstrates a specific public need for the radio controlled motorized aircraft usage and does not constitute an infringement on the public’s use of the parks, a danger to patrons within the parks, or violates park user privacy. The operator of the aircraft will be expected to follow all FAA guidelines including contacting the Lee’s Summit airport. LSPR is committed to providing a safe environment for patrons who choose to enjoy the park system.
