GREETINGS FROM DURHAM PARKS & RECREATION'S DIRECTOR Durham Parks and Recreation (DPR) is on the move as we have so many wonderful things happening in 2019!

• In April, we unveiled three beautiful new basketball courts at Hillside Park that were made possible by The Tamia & Grant Hill Foundation and FILA. The courts were recently named a Great Places 2019 winner through the North Carolina Chapter of the American Planning Association.

• In June, we hosted the USTA NC 40 & Over State Tennis Championships, which brought in over 1,200 players from across the state. This is the first time we hosted this tournament, and we will also host it again in 2020!

• In July, The Long Ball RBI Mid-Atlantic Regional came to Durham for the first time – RBI teams visited from all over North Carolina, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington DC. This regional tournament will also be returning to Durham in 2020! DPR will be providing support to the local long ball coordinator.

• In September, DPR is partnering with Univision 40 North Carolina on the Fiestas Patrias En Unirumba.

Looking to 2020, we have more exciting events planned: • The LeadHERShip conference for women leaders in parks and recreation will be held for the first time in Durham.

In addition to these events being brought to Durham, you will continue to see improvements around the City through our ½ penny for parks and trails initiative, capital improvement plan, participatory budget, and grants.

DPR is going on 95 years of service to the residents in the City of Durham. We do this through continuous engagement of the many communities in Durham. Show us how you participate in our programs and activities by tagging us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram @dprplaymore.

Thank you, Rhonda B. Parker, MSM, CPRP Director, Durham Parks and Recreation

ADOPT-A-PARK, ADOPT-A-TRAIL Volunteers from all over the community support Durham’s parks and trails through the Adopt-APark and Adopt-A-Trail (APAT) programs. These programs are a great opportunity for you or your organization to make a positive difference in your community.

Since 2003, community groups have supported their community by adopting parks and trail segments in Durham. DPR manages nearly 1,800 acres of parkland in more than 68 parks and more than 30 miles of greenways, and we’re still growing. The assistance we receive from adopting agencies is invaluable as we make every effort to care for our natural resources.

The City of Durham Parks and Recreation Department provides routine park maintenance and repairs; however, the adopting individuals and organizations give the park or trail the extra care and attention it needs. Adopters work on a variety of projects of their choosing. They have assisted with numerous cleanup, landscaping, and facility improvement projects.

Any individual or organization interested in bettering our parks and trails can adopt. For additional information on the Adopt-A-Park and Adopt-A Trail programs, please visit our website dprplaymore.org or contact Mal Atkinson, at 919-560-4355 or dprvolunteers@durhamnc.gov.

PARK SPOTLIGHT Durham Parks and Recreation has responded to the public’s request to better maintain City parks and trails. Money from the ½ penny for park and trail deferred maintenance, Durham Parks Foundation, as well as money from the capital project planning, have gone into repairs.

Hillside Park Basketball Courts In February 2019 FILA USA and the Tamia and Grant Hill Foundation approached the Durham Parks Foundation and Durham Parks and Recreation about funding the complete refurbishment of the basketball courts at Hillside Park. The project included the commission of a mural by artist Sarahlayne Calva, repairs to the court surface, landscaping improvements, new goals and an amazing design that “rifs” on the City of Durham Flag. On April 13, 2019 a celebration was held at W.D. Hill Recreation Center (the event was held inside due to rain) with FILA and Grant Hill in attendance to celebrate the re-opening of the courts.

All partners have agreed that we want to work together again in the next year! Stay tuned!
