Greetings! I hope you had an amazing summer, and you were able to get outside and enjoy all of what our parks and the Timnath Reservoir have to offer. It has been a great summer with record numbers in our youth programming, our parks crews attention to detail keeping our parks safe and clean, and amazing attendance at our summer events! Seeing our residents enjoy these amenities and events is why I got into parks and recreation!
Please know that we are always working on ways to improve and expand our programs and amenities. Staff has been hard at work lining up an architect and design firm as well as a general contractor to design and build our recreation center. We are close to finishing the schematic design and we will be sure to share with you our progress as we move forward. We are shooting to open in the first half of 2029, and it can’t get here fast enough!
In addition to the recreation center, I hope you noticed the safety improvements that were made at the entrance to Timnath Community Park. We have also been planning for a new section of trail out at Timnath Reservoir and master planning a park adjacent to Bethke Elementary!
As always, our program staff has been hard at work and we will be offering arts and crafts, soccer and flag football as usual, but you should also check out our new programs. Looking through the pages of this guide and seeing new programs like Preschool Prom and Pet Palooza shows our commitment to expanding and diversifying programs for all the residents of Timnath.
We have been busy, but with an amazing community like Timnath, it is worth it! The Timnath Parks and Recreation Department will continue to work hard for our community!
I hope to see you at Fall Festival!
