LETTER from the

ADMINISTRATOR “Every Age, Every Season,” it’s more than a motto for LSPR, it’s a directive. The summer of 2022 will be filled with programs, special events, and experiences for all ages and all interests. Are you into fitness? This year we are celebrating the 20th Anniversary of Tour de Lakes (TDL) and expecting a large turnout for this “must attend” annual bike ride. If cycling isn’t your thing you can run a 5K at our Night Flight event, participate in over 100 fitness classes at our community centers, or join us outside for group exercise experiences like sunrise and moonlight yoga.

Of course, we have Camp Summit, our popular summer day camp, but we also have a bicycling camp, a technology camp, and esports leagues and tournaments. If you are looking for water activities, Summit Waves is sure to provide relief from the summer heat. Did you know, we also have three splash pads located throughout our community? And, if you are feeling a little more adventurous you can rent a stand-up paddle board (SUP) or canoe at Legacy Lake.

Maybe you are into cultural arts or large gatherings. If so, Legacy Park Amphitheater has eleven events scheduled this season and five events are free. And speaking of free events, Legacy Blast will return this summer. The event will be bigger and better, so mark your calendar for July 1 to experience the festivities. Of course, this event could not happen without the partnership and generous financial support from the City of Lee’s Summit and the day of event support from the Lee’s Summit Police and Fire Departments.

This issue of the Illustrated has information on all of these activities and so much more. Take your time, explore from cover to cover and plan your summer. I look forward to seeing you and your family throughout this season.

Enjoy your parks,

SPLASH PADS Miller J. Fields

Lee’s Summit has three fun-filled splash pads for you and your kids to enjoy every summer from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day, from 10am to 7pm.

The Bucket. That is the first thing you see splashing down at Miller J. Fields Park, located at 1301 SE 3rd Terr. The screams of joy as gallons of water come pouring down, a colorful archway spraying water, jets of water from spinning contraptions and more!

Lea McKeighan Our second splash pad in Lee’s Summit is at Lea McKeighan Park - North, located at 120 NE Chipman Rd. This splashpad has a water surging scorpion aimed at making your summer a blast, a flower watering you from above, a tree that pours down on anyone below and other exciting offerings!

The park also has fun amenities like a shelter, pickleball courts, a playground for older children, and another for younger kids. In the winter months the park transforms to Summit Ice! Go to page 7 for more info.

Howard

Our newest Splash Pad is at Howard Park, located at 3498 NE Independence in north Lee’s Summit. It has whirling spouts, water jetting from the ground, three smaller buckets dumping refreshing water, and more!

Renovated in 2020, the park also has a shelter, shade structures, a 9-hole disc golf course, and playgrounds for younger and older children!

PARK SPOTLIGHT LEGACY PARK

Wildlife

White-Tailed Deer

The most common deer in the U.S. is the white-tailed deer. Did you know in summer the white-tailed deer are reddish-brown to tan above; the winter the colors are grayish to grayish brown.

LEGACY PARK L

egacy Park, located at 1201 NE Legacy Park Drive, covers 692 acres and has many amenities for patrons to enjoy. Whether you would like to spend the day playing on the 18-hole disc golf course, paddling a canoe on the lake, taking a class at Lovell Community Center or catching a show at the Amphitheater, Legacy Park has something for everyone. Come walk the 4.7-mile paved trail and enjoy views of the lake, native wildflowers and maybe even spot some wildlife. Bring the whole family and enjoy the all-inclusive playground, Joseph A. Dyke Playground, complete with a shelter house and fully functioning restrooms during warmer months. If you are feeling adventurous, try mountain biking or hiking the 1014 loop, a 3-mile natural surface trail which takes adventurers past ponds, over creeks and even beside a waterfall.

Legacy Park is not only a wonderful place to recreate, the park provides many environmental benefits as well. All of the sports fields are irrigated using ground water runoff collected in Legacy Lake and pumped to each venue, saving taxpayer dollars and reducing water waste. Large areas of the park are native plants and wildflowers which are not only beautiful, but provide important food and habitat for the

6

wildlife that calls Legacy Park home. Additionally, these native plant areas reduce the need to mow, saving fuel and staff costs.

Legacy Park is home to numerous wildlife.

White-tailed deer, killdeer, coyote, cottontail rabbits, red-tailed hawks, cooper’s hawks, red foxes, frogs, opposum, red-winged blackbirds, and much more! Check out some of the critters who call the park their home in the column on the right.

American Bullfrog

The bullfrog is Missouri’s largest frog; it ranges from green to olive to brown. The back may have small brown spots or dark, indistinct, irregular blotches. If you ride the 1014 loop you can hear a chorus of them near a pond!

Legacy Park is a delightful escape to enjoy nature with your family. Come visit the park and see some of the natural beauty Lee’s Summit has to offer. Legacy Park is one of the many reasons Lee’s Summit is a great place to live and play.

Brooke Chestnut, CPRP, CPSI, MW5124 AU Superintendent of Park Operations

Tour de Lakes 20th Anniversary Please join us on Saturday, June 25, 2022 at 7:00am for a “great bike ride”!

Register by scanning the QR code with your phone’s camera, or go to LSParks.net.

T

our de Lakes is a memorial bike ride for Tom Logan, a Lee’s Summit bike enthusiast. Thanks to many passionate friends and family, Tour de Lakes has become an annual bike riding event around the many lakes in Eastern Jackson County.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the bike ride.

In honor of Tom Logan and the many memories he and this bike ride bring the community of Lee’s Summit, Tour de Lakes will celebrate with our different routes: a 10mile ride around Longview Lake, a 32- mile ride that goes around Longview and Raintree Lakes, a 56-mile ride around Longview, Raintree, and Lakewood Lakes, and a 64-mile ride touring all five lakes including Longview, Raintree, Lakewood, Blue Springs, and Lake Jacomo.

“Tour de Lakes is celebrating its 20th year because of the commitment of so many in the community,” Diane Logan, wife of Tom Logan and organizer of Tour de Lakes, said. “The best part of seeing the ride grow is to watch so many cyclists enjoy not only the beautiful scenery of our area, but the pure enjoyment of taking part in a ‘great bike ride.’”

Registration is open for residents and non-residents of Lee’s Summit. To ensure a guaranteed t-shirt is available, order by June 9. Packet pick-up and late registration will be on Friday, June 24 from 4-7pm inside Longview Community Center. Day of registration and packet pick up will be on Saturday, June 25 from 5:45am-6:45am. The day of registration is $35 adults/$30 for ages 13 and under. Registration before Saturday, June 25 is $30 for adults and $25 for 13 and under.

NRPA Gold Medal

The Gold Medal Award honors communities throughout the United States that demonstrate excellence in long-range planning, resource management and innovative approaches to delivering superb park and recreation services with fiscally sound business practices. Only two other Missouri cities have achieved this recognition—Columbia and Springfield.

General Info & FAQ's IN CASE OF BAD WEATHER Call 816-969-1516 a half hour or less before your scheduled activity to see if it has been canceled. If the activity is scheduled at an R-7 school and school was canceled during the day, so are the activities for that evening.

PROGRAM DISCLAIMER LSPR reserves the right to cancel, combine or divide classes. There may be a need to change dates, times, locations, instructors, fees or program outline revisions of any program offerings. We will give as much notice as possible for changes made.

LSPR PROGRAM REFUND POLICY Satisfaction Guaranteed* In the case of a schedule conflict or inability to attend a program, a refund will be issued to the participant in the amount based on the following parameters: Prior to the deadline of the program a 100% refund of the fees will be returned. After the registration deadline, 90% of the fee paid will be returned. After the start of the program, 75% of the fees paid will be returned.

Administrative fees withheld from team leagues may vary depending on time of withdrawal and schedule release. The amount withheld will be approved by LSPR’s Administrator. As per LSPR’s 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed practice, if a participant is not satisfied with the services provided by LSPR, the following options may be followed: 1. Receive a full refund. 2. Repeat the activity at no charge. 3. Receive a full credit that may be applied to any departmental activity.

In order to receive a full refund, the participant may need to meet with the program supervisor. Refund checks or credits to credit cards will be processed within 14 business days. We are unable to refund Camp Summit enrollment fees, and activities/tickets that are provided by another organization or business. *We are unable to refund activities provided by other organizations or businesses (i.e., theme park tickets, etc.).

24 HOUR CANCELLATION POLICY A 24 hour notice of cancellation or change in contracted services, like massage therapy, personal training and private swim lessons, is required. If an appointment is canceled or changed within less than 24 hours of the scheduled appointment, a refund will NOT be processed. In the event of a cancellation by the contractor prior to the 24 hour notice, the appointment may be rescheduled or refunded. In the event of a cancellation by the contractor less than 24 hours of the scheduled appointment, you may reschedule your appointment and will receive an additional 15 minutes of service at no charge.

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 192 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.
