WINTER/SPRING 2019

GENERAL INFORMATION

MIRACLE FIELD

The Miracle League is a FREE baseball/softball league for children with special needs from age 5 – 18 and adults 19 and older. The Miracle League is just like baseball. Players will bat, round the bases, catch, throw, and hit Home Runs!

There are a few differences in how the game is played.

• Each player has a buddy that gets to assist them.

• Each player will bat once each inning.

• Every player is safe, no one is out.

• Every player will score a run before the inning is over.

• The last player up hits a HOME RUN. • Every game ends in a tie.

• A game will last two innings or an hour.

• Special rubberized playing surface.

Urbandale Parks and Recreation will assign players to teams after registration is complete. Each team will need at least two parent coaches. Sign-up Deadline: April 19.

Please register at www.UrbandaleParksAndRec.org.

ANGELS IN THE OUTFIELD

We also need volunteers to be Angels in the Outfield.

Each player has a buddy that gets to spend the game with them. Buddies can be ages 13 and older. As a buddy you will protect the player at all times and assist when needed, helping them to play as much as possible.

Support all the players with high fives, knuckles, and cheering. Enjoy the players and your experience.

If you, your company, or organization would like to be Angels in the Outfield for the Miracle League of Urbandale, please contact Chris Barkema, Recreation Coordinator at cbarkema@urbandale.org for more information.

URBANDALE PARKS & RECREATION

ALL INCLUSIVE PLAYGROUND

The playground will be designed to provide opportunities for children of all ages and abilities, including those with special needs, to enjoy using the equipment and participating in fun outdoor activities. The playground surface will have a cushioned rubberized surface to help prevent injuries and has a completely flat surface to eliminate any barriers to wheelchair-bound or visually impaired participants.

HELP MAKE THIS PLAYGROUND A REALITY

Donations: Checks made payable to the Urbandale All Inclusive Playground Project, c/o Urbandale Parks and Recreation, can be mailed to: Urbandale Parks and Recreation, 3600 86th Street, Urbandale, Iowa 50322.

Gifts of $1,000 and more will be permanently recognized at the playground. Questions can be directed to Jan Herke, Director Urbandale Parks and Recreation at (515) 331-6793 or jherke@urbandale.org.

THE PLAYGROUND WILL BE LOCATED NEXT TO THE URBANDALE MIRACLE LEAGUE FIELD, IN NORTHVIEW PARK. Northview Park is also the home of the Urbandale Little League complex, owned by the City and leased to the Urbandale Little League.

To build the playground, purchase and install the equipment, plaza, fence, lighting and other miscellaneous features the project will cost $550,000 to complete.

This project will be spearheaded by the Urbandale Parks and Recreation Department and the Urbandale All-Inclusive Playground Committee, under direction of the Mayor, City Council and City Manager.

MORE THAN 20,000 CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS RESIDE IN THE GREATER METRO AREA. Des Moines, Ankeny and Johnston are homes to All-Inclusive playgrounds, however, a playground like this does not exist for youth in the western suburbs. Please consider making a donation to help support this special project! Check out the website for more information on giving levels and donation opportunities. With your help and support we can make the all-inclusive playground a reality! www.Urbandale.org/Playground

3. Refrain from causing bodily harm to participants or staff.

If our staff has concerns about a participant’s behavior, the adult participant or child’s parent/guardian will be consulted immediately. If inappropriate behavior continues, we will re-evaluate the participant's enrollment.

WAITING LISTS Waiting lists are kept for classes that have reached maximum enrollment. We make every possible effort to add or expand these classes, depending on instructor and space availability.

Dogs and their owners are welcome in many of our parks - as long as the pets are on a leash at all times and owners clean up after their animals. However, make no bones about it! We can’t sidestep the issue of pet waste.

Out of courtesy to others using the parks, pet owners must take responsibility and help to keep our parks clean. Please bring a scooper and/or bag with you when you enjoy the parks with your four-legged friends. Appreciation and thanks are extended to responsible pet owners who, along with their pets, respect other park users and the park system.

Bike Trails Urbandale has an extensive bike trail system. A map of the bike trails is in the center of this guide. Additional maps are available at the Parks and Recreation office. If you are sponsoring an activity that includes the use of the bike trails, there are guidelines that need to be followed. Please call the Parks and Recreation office at 278-3963 for more information.

Miscellaneous Information The majority of our programs are held on school grounds.

As such, there is to be no smoking or consuming of alcoholic beverages on school grounds - by participants or spectators!

We schedule our activities in cooperation with the Urbandale and Waukee School Districts, but unforeseen conflicts do arise. Please be understanding when times or locations have to be changed - school programs do have first priority!

Programs also come up during the year that have not been included in our Program Guide. Look for press releases in the Urbandale Register and our website at www.urbandale.org regarding upcoming activities offered by Urbandale Parks and Recreation.

INFORMATION Please don’t feed the Waterfowl!

While it may be tempting to feed the ducks and geese at City Parks, doing so is actually quite harmful. Human food causes malnutrition in waterfowl. Their delayed migration as a result, increases disease, erodes the landscape, and pollutes the water. Please help us preserve the balance of nature, the beauty of the parks and quality of life for neighbors - do not feed the ducks and geese! Thank you for your cooperation.

For more information, contact Urbandale Parks & Recreation at 515-278-3963.

Our philosophy is ONE CHILD ONE BALL. Fun drills and games where your child always has a ball in his/ her feet. There are “no” competitive games. They will have hundreds of touches on the ball each class, that will help them to increase their ball control and accuracy. This 4-week program is perfect to introduce the sport to kids and give them skills to enjoy the game and be successful when they join a competitive team. Children will learn the basic rules of the game while practicing sportsmanship and teamwork. The curriculum is designed by Raul Cuñarro, founder of Rounded Minds™, Professional Soccer coach from Spain, currently working at the Des Moines Menace.

Yoga with Beth

For many years, yoga has helped people of all ages and walks of life improve their sense of health and well-being.

Yoga combines fluid movements with focused and attentive breathing. This aligns the mind and spirit with the physical body, creating a perfect “union”, or “yoga”. In today’s hectic world, daily stresses and constant mental distractions put tension into our bodies, sometimes to the point of making us ill. The purpose of yoga is to soothe the inner spirit by calming the mind and body. Yoga poses help slow us down, and we naturally become more focused and relaxed. As students grow in their yoga experience, the poses become more challenging, allowing the body to grow stronger and more limber.

At any level, the benefits of yoga are the same-stronger muscular endurance, sharpened mental clarity, deeper flexibility, improved circulation and immunity and above all a heightened sense of well-being. Let yoga start you on a journey you can enjoy for a lifetime-body, mind and spirit! This class is for active individuals who are injury-free. Max: 30 participants at Lions Shelter, 50 at Senior Center. Instructor: Beth Damm.

We will start at the beginning and work up to a 5K during the program. The program is designed to get you running for 30 minutes without stopping by the end of the 8 weeks. Your registration fee for this 5K will be covered in the registration fee for this group training program.

You will also be given “homework” to complete on Mondays or Tuesdays that will take no longer than 45 minutes. Everyone is busy; can you spare 3 hours per week to get to your first 5K?
