Letter from the Director
Dear McCall Community,
I am honored to serve as the Director of the McCall Parks and Recreation Department, and I want to extend my sincere gratitude to each of you for your continued support and engagement. Our parks, trails, and recreational programs are the heart of this community, and we are committed to providing spaces and activities that enrich the lives of residents and visitors alike.
As we look ahead, we are excited to introduce new initiatives and improvements across our parks and facilities. Our goal is to ensure that everyone has access to safe, inclusive, and enjoyable outdoor experiences. We also remain dedicated to preserving the natural beauty of McCall while promoting sustainability and environmental stewardship.
Community involvement is key to our success, and we encourage you to share your ideas, participate in programs, and take advantage of all that our parks have to offer. Whether you are enjoying a leisurely walk, joining a sports league, or volunteering at one of our events, your participation helps strengthen our community.
Thank you for making McCall such a vibrant and active place to live, work, and play. We look forward to seeing you in our parks and at our events!
