FROM THE DIRECTOR
The Mission of the Teton County/Jackson Parks and Recreation Department is to provide present and future quality parks and recreation opportunities according to the needs of the residents.
PARK AND RECREATION BOARD MEETINGS
WELCOME TO THE TETON COUNTY/ JACKSON PARKS AND RECREATION FALL 2016 ACTIVITY GUIDE After an action packed summer full of exciting events and programs, we are turning our attention to the opportunities of fall. As kids return to school, one of our biggest priorities is to provide a variety of engaging after school programs and after school care for our community’s youth. Through collaboration with many local youth organizations, we have almost doubled our program occupancy, all while continuing to offer both enriching and exciting activities. There continues to be many programming opportunities for adults; this is a great time to join a fall sports team or participate in an outdoor adventure. No matter your interest, there is something for everyone. Fall is a great time to explore the many parks and trails throughout our beautiful valley. The Teton County/Jackson Parks and Recreation Department offers and maintains over 35 miles of pathways, 14 park areas, and in December, our extensive trail grooming program will offer several Nordic and skate skiing trails. Fall also brings many families back to the pool – with swim lessons kicking off in September and toddler swim returning to 5 days a week. As the weather turns crisp, be sure to look to the Recreation Center for opportunities to stay active, whether in the pool or in one of our many group fitness classes. Unleash the power of parks and recreation this fall! Now is the time to reach your goals, discover new adventures, increase your knowledge, and most of all, have FUN doing it!

So you have a car. What now? It doesn’t matter if you are 15 and it’s your first, you are 75 and it’s your late husband’s cherished classic, or you are somewhere in between and just want to know more about your vehicle. Get your hands a little dirty (don’t worry we provide the rags and soap) and join us this fall as we explore basic vehicle care, preventative maintenance, and safety.
Moms do you want to spend some time with your son? Dads do you want to show your ‘baby’ girl how to take care of a car? Parents and Grandparents bring your child or grandchild along as we explore how to safely perform basic vehicle care and preventative maintenance this fall. These interactive classes are tailored to safely include children ages 8 and up.
All programs will take place at Able Auto.
HOW MANY PEOPLE DOES IT TAKE TO CHANGE A LIGHTBULB... IN A SUBARU? This is not your grandpa’s Chevy where all you needed was a screwdriver. Newer vehicles have smoother lines, hidden bolts, and easily broken plastic parts. We demonstrate how to change out light bulbs and wiper blades, how to check battery connections and tire pressure, and clean or replace air filters. Learn tips, basic troubleshooting, safety precautions, and easy fixes.
HELP! MY CAR WON’T START! Running late to work, turn the key, won’t start. Calling a towing service takes time, and is sometimes necessary, but not always. In many instances this situation can be prevented. Find out what kills a battery? When is it a fuel issue? Learn basic battery maintenance, electrical safety and troubleshooting, tips to get it to the shop, and how to use jump packs and cables.
PREPARING FOR A ROAD TRIP Going to Grandma’s? Headed to hike the Appalachian Trail? We all know taking the family across the country involves planning and preparation. Living and traveling in Wyoming with water, snacks, and an extra set of shoes is common, but when was the last time you checked the percentage of wear on your car’s brake pads? The condition of the belts on the motor? We’ll walk you through a checklist of your vehicle’s critical systems that you don’t want failing at midnight on an abandoned stretch of road or after taking the wrong exit in New York. Learn the essential tools to take with you and how to use them safely. Get hands on experience, questions answered, tips for basic repairs, and take home materials to get you started.
