58 | EXHIBIT 1 12/10/2020 ARPD Director's Report Presented by Recreation and Park Director Amy Wooldridge Recreation Services Winter break camp is filled at Harrison and close to capacity at Washington and we added an additional all day site at Leydecker. Follows all COVID-19 safety protocols. Virtual Santa Visits - more sign ups than any previous years. Considering in the future to offer a combination of in-person and virtual visits. We have 48 registered families this year. Virtual Tree Lighting and Family Trivia Night happened last Saturday evening and was an even bigger turn out than the previous trivia night with 73 households registered. Staff decorated City Hall, the tree, menorah and peace sign with an Alameda theme. Outside community groups provided some music to listen for the virtual ceremony. In 2021, will offer E-sports tournaments and leagues for Minecraft and other virtual games. Aquatics fall lessons end on Dec. 19 and will return in January. Lap Swimming and Water Walking are on-going programs that will continue. RAP after school programs are going well. A Franklin Park parent recently told us, "RAP has been a miracle in preserving and rebuilding the mental health of our family and we couldn't imagine getting through the days and weeks of COVID-19 without it!" Alameda Youth Committee (teen leadership group) is now sending pen pal letters to Friends Connect (social group for teens with developmental disabilities). Mastick Senior Center A Flu Clinic hosted by Alameda County Health on December 7 was held at Mastick. Due to the initiative of our Recreation Manager, Jackie Krause, a group of Alameda County senior center managers/supervisors is being formed to discuss senior center programming and reopening starting in January. 3,300 holiday postcards are being mailed to members (our entire database). Community volunteers organized through Christ Church prepared "grab and go" Thanksgiving Dinners and 30 were distributed to Mastick's lunch participants. John Thiel, Pappo's Restaurant is providing 30 meals on Christmas Eve for Mastick's lunch participants. Park Maintenance Planted 20 trees at the park formerly known as Jackson Park with 22 volunteers. Will work on developing an ongoing Volunteers in Parks program. Working through hiring for Parks Supervisor and Parks Foreperson. We're looking forward to developing our Parks Division Administration team and making changes to continually improve how we maintain our 24 parks. Replacing the fence along the Lincoln Park baseball field that is shared with neighbors. Replacing a 40 foot chain link fence with a 10 foot chain link fence plus a 40 foot sports netting. The total safety barrier will now be ten feet taller. The netting is a safer option as it is not as heavy as the tall fencing and is just as effective at stopping balls. It is standard use for athletic fields and golf courses. |
