Letter from the Director
Unfortunately, it is all about COVID-19. We hope this letter finds
you healthy. Spring and summer programs will look a little
different this year, as they should. You will notice the absence
of some traditional programs where either the activity, age
of participants, or both, make social distancing impractical
(such as T-Ball). However, you will also notice the increase of
programs and activities that can be provided safely and may
also serve as child care, (such as Explore Camps). Several of
these are new innovative programs spurred on by the times,
Rec2Go is one example.

Let me also take this opportunity to thank our residents for
passing the Parks & Trails District last year. By voting for this
District, you have made it clear that Parks and Trails are critical
municipal infrastructure vital to our health and well-being, and
addressing the maintenance in a systematic, professional
manner is important to our community. We take our business
and your trust seriously.

Lastly, I’d like to take a moment to thank the hardworking men
and women who work to bring you these public spaces and
programs. They are an incredibly dedicated, forward thinking,
selfless group of public servants. They have worked through
this pandemic with honor to keep parks, trails, facilities and
programs open and available for your much needed use.

Take care of yourself and our neighbors. Let’s make it a great year.

Sincerely,

           • Mitch

    children in neighborhood parks all across Bozeman. Recreation Leaders will be on hand
      to lead activities and will provide all of the equipment that is needed. The goal of this
    FREE program is easy access to recreation for ALL children, especially those who might

                  them to parks within walking distance of their home or school.

    Location
    The Rec Mobile will visit different city parks throughout
    the summer. The schedule and locations will change
    monthly and are located on our website www.
    bozeman.net/recreation. This no registration
    required, drop-in program is offered to children ages
    5-10 years old.

    What to Bring
    - Face covering/mask
    - Closed-toed shoes
    - A positive attitude and energy to PLAY

    What We Will Provide
    - A safe and supportive environment
    - Robust sanitation and disinfecting protocols for all
      equipment that will be used
    - Limited group sizes (groups will not exceed 25 people
      total at one time)
    - Activities and space that encourage physical
      distancing

FOOD FOR THOUGHT |
MAY 28, MONDAY
Let’s think about this…how is our food grown?
Who in our community grows our produce and
where do we get locally grown food? Gallatin
Valley is an agriculturally-rich area and, during
this camp, we will be planting a garden in our
community garden plot at Story Mill Park,
building a compost bin for food scraps, creating
a yummy individual dish or two from locally
grown produce and visiting our food bank to
learn how it benefits our community. Park play
included!

We are grateful that you voted May 5, 2020,
to invest in a parks and trails district that provides
a dedicated source of funding for maintaining and
improving our City’s parks and trails. Every penny that
goes into the Parks & Trails District will be spent on
parks and trails in our community. Thank you!

And we need your input as we plan for the future
as we create a new Parks, Recreation, and Active
Transportation Plan. Your opinions, suggestions, and
expertise on the City’s parks, recreation and trails
systems and services will help us plan for the future in
our rapidly growing community.

      Please watch our project website and
      Facebook page for updates, surveys
       and events beginning this summer!
