Mission Statement

The Recreation Operations Division serves the community through diverse and innovative programming and broad partnerships, creating a healthy community.  By providing space to learn and play, space to be safe and secure, and space to create and imagine, the Recreation Operations Division meets an important need in the community.  

The activities, classes and programs provided by this division strengthen our community's fabric, health and well-being, economic base and security.  Our professionally trained staff and volunteers make important connections with our residents to improve their lives.  It is this person-to-person, sustained contact that relieves the loneliness of senior citizens, reduces the stress and isolation of working adults, and inspires and teaches youth to become productive community members.   

The Recreation Operations Division is responsible for the supervision of five sections:  Aquatics, Cultural Arts, Sports, Teens and Senior Citizens.  In addition, this Division oversees the operation of the youth counselor and city transportation and acts as city liaison to the Senior Citizen Housing Board.
