Welcome to Centre Region Parks & Recreation

W

ell, the winter months are here, but there’s no reason to be sad! We have some great outdoor fun planned for the winter, plus there are 56 parks that offer trails to keep you moving despite the shorter days and colder temperatures!

CRPR staff will be very busy this winter and spring as we continue to plan for the newest regional facility--Whitehall Road Regional Park! The park’s Phase I development will include four rectangular playing fields, an all-season pavilion with restrooms and a concession stand, a two-mile walking trail that will also serve as a connector to the Musser’s Gap Trailhead, and the All-Ability and Universally-Accessible Playground that will be a first of its kind for the Centre Region.

There will be some passive areas within the park, and of course the infrastructure items like parking lots, sidewalks, entrance road, stormwater management, etc. We are very excited to be working on this project.

Additionally, the Council of Governments (COG) through the Comprehensive Study Steering Committee has kicked-off a year-long project to gather, review, and evaluate all things recreation in the Centre Region. Our consultants will be working very hard to provide public input through the Comprehensive Study to include public meetings, key person interviews, online surveys, and more. Watch for more information via our website, social media pages, e-newsletters, and more!

Stay warm!

Mountain Biking for Women-Pre-Season Social

Mountain biking is an excellent form of self-care. If you accept that invitation and go play in the woods, mountain biking does wonders for your physical and emotional health. Since mountain biking often requires focus on only what is immediately in front of you on the trail, your mind has to let go of all those life responsibilities. You will be more capable to handle all those responsibilities better when your body and mind are taken care of. Meet up with other local women who RIDE. This is an event for everyone - novice to advanced riders.

Free refreshments and prize giveaways throughout the evening.

Gifts for Parks Donations of all shapes and sizes help CRPR and various programs within the Agency. We have included descriptions below for donation opportunities.

Youth Scholarships: Donating to our Youth Scholarship Program provides opportunities for economically-disadvantaged youth to attend summer camp, purchase a season pool pass, or attend a class/ program.

Remembrance Programs: CRPR offers a Remembrance Tree, Gift Bench, and My Hero/My Veteran program as an option to memorialize family or friends or volunteers! CRPR works with the donor on the location and tree selection.

Special Projects: CRPR also has several special projects on-going at this time such as the AllAbility and Universally-Accessible Playground at the Whitehall Road Regional Park.
