Fall 2020 Recreation Guide

ESCONDIDO Recreation Guide October November

Fall 2020 recreation.escondido.org

Cover Close-Up With the recent pandemic, there has been greater focus on outdoor activities for individuals and families.

The City of Escondido has worked diligently to provide a wide array of outdoor opportunities and park amenities to the public. Through our Capital Improvement Project (CIP) budget and other funding sources, the City has been able to resurface all of the tennis courts at Kit Carson Park, Washington Park, and Mountain View Park. In addition to tennis, a few of the courts at each location have been striped to include pickleball. These outdoor activities are perfect to support physical distancing and improve health and wellbeing. On the front cover of this issue, we feature our tennis instructor, Don Pham, who is testing out the new court surfaces. Check out his tennis lessons for all ages and skill levels from beginner to advanced.

So let’s get out there and play a little!

PRESCHOOL LEARN, GROW, PLAY!

Tiny Tots Preschool prepares your little one for kindergarten by encouraging exploration, academic development, and positive social interaction. Designed with learning in mind, the curriculum is based on California Common Core Standards. Children often learn through play, therefore classroom activities include a variety of music, creative movement, art, science, social interaction, cultural awareness, language, math, pre-writing, pre-reading, field trips, and dramatic play.

Little Tots and Super Tots are continuous, yearlong programs that are divided into monthly classes for ease of payment.

Therefore, participants are enrolled for the duration of the 2020/2021 school year provided they maintain their eligibility.

We have added additional breaks to wash our hands and in order to practice social distancing, there will be limited chairs at the tables and children will sit on colored assigned play spots during circle time.

Please keep up the great work to “Support local, Shop Local”!

The City of Escondido adopted a Business Recovery Strategy in May, which includes a toolkit to support businesses City-wide to operate outdoors, on sidewalks, and in parking areas in order to respond to COVID-19 restrictions.

In August, the City continued the existing measures and adopted new measures to support local organizations to operate in City parks and created a framework of flexibility for the City and businesses to adapt to the updated Public Health Orders. The toolkit is essential in supporting our local business community to rise above and shift from surviving to thriving during the pandemic.

Please keep up the great work to “Support local, Shop Local” locally-spent dollars are reinvested in the community to support businesses and City services.
