LETTER from the

ADMINISTRATOR LSPR had a fantastic summer, and fall is shaping up to be just as enjoyable. Our offerings for fall will look similar to years past but with a few surprises, including the addition of Night Flight and Tour de Lakes.

Traditionally, these two events take place in June of each year, however, we were still dealing with COVID-19 during the planning phase for the 2021 events. So we decided in January, if feasible, to offer both in the fall. And here we are, fall 2021, and both events are on the calendar. I am very pleased LSPR can offer Night Flight and Tour de Lakes before the end of the year and I anticipate the events will be well attended. Details for each event can be found on the inside cover of this edition of the Illustrated.

A couple of other special events to highlight include our popular “Pooch Paddle” dog swim at Summit Waves and the Kid’s Fishing Derby located at Legacy Lake.

Both events were put on hold in 2020 and we are thrilled to reintroduce them in 2021. Information for each event can also be found on the inside cover of this edition of the Illustrated.

Finally, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the opening of Summit Ice later this fall. This popular destination is the only outdoor ice rink in eastern Jackson County and provides a great way to exercise and enjoy winter time fun. We offer several ways to enjoy the frozen pond including skate lessons, rentals, pond hockey, special events and, of course, public skate opportunities.

This year will mark the fourth year Summit Ice has been serving our community and we are very appreciative of your support. For more information, visit SummitIce.net.

It is truly our pleasure to serve you and we look forward to seeing “Every Age” this season.

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.

• Fill out a Public Participation Form, available online at www.lsparks. net or by contacting the Administrative Offices of LSPR. • Submit the form to the Administrator of Parks and Recreation at the meeting at which you wish to speak before the meeting is called to order.

Questions or concerns should be directed to the Administrative Offices of LSPR.
