Mondays JULY 9 - JULY 18 AND 11:15A -11:45A JULY 23 - AUGUST 1 Wednesdays

This class combines the high intensity of a traditional spin class with the low impact of water.

It is a great workout for those recovering from an injury or those looking for a different exercise experience.

AQUACIZE This high energy water aerobics class is geared toward those who prefer less choreography in their workouts but still enjoy intense cardiovascular fitness and toning. Hand and leg water weights will be used in this class.

Updates Around

the

Parks

Every year the St. Charles Parks and Recreation Department makes park improvements by upgrading or adding new amenities to existing facilities. The following park improvements are planned for 2018.

• Tree Inventory and Management: The St. Charles Parks and Recreation Department's tree inventory is complete. Our online inventory website allows you to explore our parks and learn about the number of trees in a particular park, the types of trees and the benefits they have. Funding of this project was provided by the Missouri Department of Conservation.

To learn more visit: https://stcharlesmo.treekeepersoftware.com • Fish Habitat and Surveys: We are currently working with the Missouri Department of Conservation to improve fishing at Fountain Lakes Park. This past winter an additional habitat was created by submerging trees in areas of the Skate Park Lake. In May, 2018, the lakes were surveyed for fish species and abundance in order to get more information on how to best treat these lakes to improve fishability over time.

• LED Replacement at Memorial Hall: Memorial Hall is in the process of converting over to an all LED lighting system. This project will provide longer lasting, energy saving lighting options throughout the facility.

• Park Signage Updates: In 2017, the departmental signage program was initiated and has since completed park entrance and way-finding signs at Blanchette, Heatherbrook and Webster Park.

This year, Wapelhorst Park and Oak Grove Cemetery will be the next to receive signage updates.

While out and about in the parks, the Ranger Division would like to remind you of a few safety tips and rules for everyone to have the most enjoyable experience: • Do not leave valuables inside your vehicle in plain sight of others. Properly secure your belongings or leave them at home.

• While exercising in the parks, carry a cell phone or have a buddy join you.

• The speed limit within all parks is 15mph. Be vigilant and watch for pedestrians.

• Please be sure that all fires within a BBQ pit are extinguished prior to leaving.

• Dogs are required to be on a leash at all times and owners are responsible for removing pet waste.

• Motorized vehicles may only be used on designated roadways and parking lots.

• Please be courteous to other park visitors by picking up your litter and avoid disruptive behavior.

• Keep It Close - keeping your phone close can not only save your life in an emergency, but also aid in saving the lives of others.
