Message from the Park &
Recreation Director
I must say that my first two years here in Great Falls have
been quite the whirlwind tour, getting to know staff and the
community, meeting with community groups, advocating
for parks and recreation, establishing a Park District and the
projects that come with it, learning the operations of our
department and the City, having a management company
take over operation of the golf courses, just to identify a few
things that have happened during that short time. Don’t
take that wrong, it has been a great two years so far! As I was
looking through files from a previous Director, I came across
this message and it reminded me of the importance and value
of what a Parks and Recreation department provides for their
community. I’d like to share that message with the community
again, because I couldn’t agree with it more and it has so much
merit regardless of when it was written.
Having heard a lot of conversations being passed around
regarding the possible use of park land for various reasons
other than their given purpose, I’ve been wondering why parks
continue to come up as possible places for new buildings and
infrastructure and I can only think of one major reason why this
topic continues to percolate; many people don’t understand
the importance a parks and recreation department plays in
a community and how it benefits them. So, why do we exist
and what role does a parks and recreation department play in
the community? Let me begin by saying parks and recreation
department’s function and impact communities through three
basic pillars; 1) Conservation, 2) Health and Wellness, 3) Social
Equity.
Conservation - Parks are critical in the role of preserving
natural resources that have real economic benefits for
communities. Our department strives to protect open
space, connect citizens to nature, and provide programming
opportunities that help engage the community in conservation
practices. Even our fabulous tree canopy provides many
unforeseen economic benefits to the community. Lower air
conditioning costs and reduced heating costs are just two of the
direct benefits associated with a tree canopy. Trees bring natural
elements and wildlife habitats into urban surroundings, all of
which increase the quality of life of Great Falls residents.
Health and Wellness - Park and recreation facilities provide
amenities that promote physical activity, play, and movement;
all of which are essential to living a healthy life. Staff sits on
various committees and boards that promote exercise, healthy
eating and community engagement. Events such as the Ice
Breaker, Easter Egg Hunt or Electric City Winter Classic offer
opportunities to improve one’s health or get out and enjoy
themselves and forget about the stresses of everyday life.
Social Equity - Our department strives to gain universal
access to public parks and recreation for residents. Staff is
consistently trying to find ways that allow all people to engage
and have access to the resources and programs we offer.
Whether its developing playgrounds that provide access to
all abilities or offering scholarships to programs for those
who cannot afford to pay, it is our belief that we can bring a
community together to help improve each and every resident’s
quality of life. Join us on Facebook:
These three pillars are just the tip of the iceberg when it
comes to all that the Great Falls Park and Recreation Department Great Falls Park and Recreation
provides for the community, but I hope it makes you think Become a Fan - Keep informed on activities and events

Great Falls Park District 1
The Great Falls Park District 1 was voted on by the
Electric City Water Park citizens of Great Falls in May of 2018 and adopted by Irrigation Upgrades - Manual to Automatic
Bathhouse Restoration the City Commissioners June 5, 2018. The purpose of
creating the park district was to provide maintenance,
purchasing, and improvement services for City-owned
facilities, land, and equipment under the responsibility
and care of the City of Great Falls Park and Recreation
Department. In the first two years of Park District
assessments, the Park and Recreation Department has
completed several projects with more in the works!

Pickleball Drop in Pickle ball offered at Community Recreation Center.
What Is Pickle-ball?
A Lively Racket Game for all Ages and Abilities.
Pickle-ball® was created with one thing in mind: fun. It was designed to
be easy to learn and play whether you’re five, eighty-five or somewhere in
between. Pickle-ball® is traditionally played on a badminton-sized court
with special Pickle-ball® paddles, made of wood or high-tech aerospace
materials. The ball used is similar to a whiffle ball, but slightly smaller. The
lower net and whiffle ball allow the game to be accessible to people of all
ages and abilities, while still allowing more competitive players to test their
mettle. View all the official Products. In addition to the modified net and
gear, there are several key rules in Pickle-ball® that help make the game
more accessible. In tennis, and many net sports, games are often won and
lost by the power of the serve. In Pickle-ball®, the ball must bounce once on
each side before volleys are allowed. This opens the game to more players
and extends play for added fun.
The Community Recreation Center will be adding drop-in pickle ball
for the public.

Page 16 • Great Falls Park & Recreation Summer Guide 2020 Paid Advertising SectionSwim Lessons are a Lifelong Skill
that should never be overlooked
If your child is 6 months to 3 years or older and hasn’t spent
much time in the water or seems afraid to go into the water,
it’s a good idea to take a parent-child class together prior to
signing them up for a regular swim lesson.
Swim lessons for children ages 4 and older are centered
on aquatic readiness skills that are geared to the child’s
age, development level, and individual ability. These
classes are grouped by both age and skill level. Beginning
grade-schoolers (children ages 5-8) take classes with other
beginners their age or ability. Working in small groups
(generally 5 to 1 ratio), kids learn simple water-safety rules,
breath control, and basic arm and leg movements. As child
gets older and gains more experience in the water, they will
be introduced to more advanced swimming skills.
