GREETINGS FROM DURHAM PARKS & RECREATION'S DIRECTOR

H

appy New Year! As I reflect on 2019, I am proud of the many accomplishments of Durham Parks and Recreation and our team! We hit our goal to connect our whole community to wellness, the outdoors, and lifelong learning out of the park. From improving our internal systems to the unveiling of the new basketball courts at Hillside Park, I am thrilled about our progress!

As I look ahead to the year 2020, I can’t help but get excited about our vision for this year. In medical terms, 20/20 vision is used to measure a person's ability to see objects at a distance of 20 feet. Our vision extends far beyond 20 feet.

Our goal is to continue to improve our internal systems, increase our health and wellness offerings, and enhance Durham's trails, athletic facilities, and parks.

We are always looking to improve your experience and this year will be no different. We need your feedback and will work to collect, review, and respond to your ideas on how we can improve our services.

We will lead the way in providing health and fitness programs, activities, and events. Some of our older programs will be revised, and we will create new programs based on trends around the country. We will also partner with other health and wellness organizations to give you the best experience possible.

Pictured: Parkson Rex being presented with the Biggest Feet Award with Parks and Recreation Director, Rhonda B. Parker, at the Knock Your Socks Off Summer Camp Assembly at Walltown Park Recreation Center. Campers painted their own socks, voted for their favorite socks, and danced the Hokey Pokey.

We will also update the playgrounds at Lakeview Park, Bay Hargrove Park, and Drew Granby Park and install a new pump track at Belmont Park. Older playgrounds along with the Eno River Park system at Old Farm Road Park, River Forest Park, and Valley Springs Park will be restored with the input from the community. The existing 30 miles of the trail system will be repaved and we will also connect the blue arch bridge over 147 and the R. Kelly Bryant Trail. We will also complete the plan for the Beltline Trail and the Third Fork Creek Trail.

And that’s not all, we will renovate and expand our athletic fields to include the construction of four new fields at Hoover Road Park, and improve our existing fields by offering more hours of play.

We are excited about the many projects that we are working on in 2020. Our vision is clear and that is to connect our whole community to wellness, the outdoors, and lifelong learning in 2020, and in years to come.

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.

Morreene Road Park N

amed after the historic “Morreene Dairy,” which used to stand nearby, Durham Parks and Recreation’s Morreene Road Park is home to baseball and softball fields, basketball courts, picnic shelters, and tennis courts. The 11.96 acre park is also the site of Durham’s very first purpose-built ADA accessible play structure. This playground features safety ramps, a Braille clock and alphabet, and a flat rubber surface that is firm enough for wheelchairs.

In July 2019, the park underwent renovations to the groundscape and athletic courts and improvements to the park including a full reconstruction of the double tennis courts, removal of old asphalt around the playground, the addition of new ADAaccessible pedestrian pathways, and the installation of a signature, permanent public art piece that spans throughout the railing and sidewalks of the park. The total cost for these renovations was approximately $418,000.

The permanent public art piece by artist Muriel Epling includes a textured wall showcasing the American Sign Language alphabet and "Play More" spelled out by relief sculptures of hands, design elements along the safety railing, and stamped stencils along the sidewalk pairing with tactile, mosaic figures on the textured wall.
