DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE Three Reasons Why Parks and Recreation are Essential Public Services Economic value, Health Benefits and Social Importance Just as public safety is considered essential service in the valley, parks are vitally important to establishing and maintaining quality of life, ensuring the health of our families, and contributing to the economic and environmental well-being of our community.
Tim Barker
Economic Value Lewiston Parks and Recreation programs generate revenue directly from fees and charges, but more importantly, provide significant indirect revenues to local and regional economies from sports tournaments and special events such as outdoor movies, music, and holiday festivals. Health Benefits According to studies by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, creating, improving and promoting places to be physically active can improve individual and community health. Social Importance Our services have recently been cited as one of the most important factors in a community-wide survey of Lewiston’s livability. What we offer through our park and recreation system provides a sense of public pride and cohesion.
