Winter-Spring2025 Program Guide by OgdenParksandRecreation

Winter-Spring 2025

Message from the Director

Andrea Hansen, CPRP

Dear Residents,

As we wrap up 2024 on a high note, we’re excited to kick off 2025 with the same energy and enthusiasm!

Thanks to the beautiful weather, we were able to enjoy the outdoors a little longer this year. Our Community Center playground was bustling from sunrise to sunset, the fields at Pineway hosted games and practices, and the pathways at Heritage were filled with walkers and runners.

Here’s a glimpse of what’s coming in the new year:

Splash Pad: The design for our new Splash Pad is finalized, and installation will begin this spring. While we’re aiming for a summer opening, the timeline will depend on weather and contractors, so we’ll announce the exact date closer to completion.

LRS Improvements: We’ve painted the first outdoor Pickleball court lines in town and updated the basketball lines at LRS. New basketball hoops will also be installed. Inside LRS, we’re planning to update the carpet and paint in the Recreational Programming Space.

Recreation Department Renovations: We’re planning renovations to the Recreation Department bathrooms and activity rooms to improve accessibility and enhance programming. This project will continue through 2025 and beyond, and we’re excited about the progress!

While we have many projects to look forward to, we encourage you to enjoy the fresh winter air in the meantime. Our parks are open for snowshoeing, outdoor play, and sledding. Please note that the pathways at Pineway Ponds and Heritage Park are seasonal amenities and are not plowed or salted in the winter. Restrooms and fields are also closed, so use all amenities at your own discretion.

As we enter the new year, it’s a good time to check your MyRec accounts for accuracy. If any updates are needed, please contact us by phone or email. Some changes require office approval, which could delay your registration for upcoming programs.

We also have plenty of indoor programs to keep you active during the winter months! Explore our themed preschool programs, youth sports, adult fitness, senior enrichment, and more. Our Fitness Center now has Saturday morning hours, and daytime walking sessions are available throughout the week.

Thinking ahead to summer? If you’re 16 or older, we’re excited to announce that our Summer Camp counselor application window opens in January! Apply on our website to gain valuable leadership, teaching, and childcare experience while making a difference in the lives of our community’s children.

We look forward to seeing you in 2025! Wishing you all a happy, healthy New Year!

Dear Ogden Residents,

I hope you enjoyed the lovely fall weather and had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your families.

At the Ogden Town Hall, we’re feeling the extra holiday spirit after the tremendous turnout at our inaugural Magical Holiday Celebration and Christmas Tree Lighting event. Thank you to everyone who joined us for a funfilled evening at the Ogden Community Center. The event featured games, food trucks, Christmas carolers, a visit from Santa, and, of course, our annual Christmas Tree Lighting. We hope you had as much fun as we did and look forward to celebrating with you again next year!
