Welcome

This issue of the Activity Guide arrives as summer draws to a close – a time filled with activities and community events. In July, UA Parks & Rec celebrated the National Recreation & Park Association’s Park and Recreation Month and the positive impacts recreation services have on communities, with the theme of “Where Community Grows.” Each summer, our department provides the UA Performance Series, Spring Fling, Summer Celebration, Movies in the Park and Labor Day Arts Festival, along with pools, parks, athletic fields and hundreds of recreation programs. We also serve as the host site for other community events, such as UACA’s Fourth of July Party in the Park and fireworks. Our community gathers, celebrates and grows through each of these experiences. Additionally, as our staff create and modify events, programs, parks and operations, we grow as employees and industry professionals. Our team takes pride in providing these opportunities for our residents and visitors. And there is more to come as we head into the fall season. When visiting our facilities or participating in our programs, you should have come across our new brand: Enrich, Explore, Experience. These three pillars represent our service to the community and are presented through publications, social media, signs and staff uniforms. The pillars also serve as the organization of this Activity Guide : Explore – showcasing the places, facilities and destinations that we can all enjoy in different ways, from our parks, shelters and rental facilities to our outdoor pools and tennis facilities Experience – where people can encounter, meet, view, listen and enjoy our community events, galleries and performing arts activities Enrich – opportunities for education, enhancement, instruction and education available through our recreation program offerings We have received great feedback on the brand and reformatted Activity Guide and plan to continue phasing in use of the pillars and colors for ease in identifying our services. Construction of the Bob Crane Community Center is an exciting time for UA. The layout of the building is taking shape (see the Capital Improvements section on page 5 for updates). We have promoted TJ Putnam to serve as the Community Center Manager; he brings valued experiences to this position and will begin planning operations with our team in preparation for the opening in 2025. Phased renovations continue at

Northam Park with the west portion of the park’s athletic fields underway. In late July and August, we are working with the Parks & Recreation Advisory Board on a community engagement process, as we consider options for a .44-acre portion of the park between Tremont Pool and Northam Tennis that will become available for reuse when the tennis courts are renovated – please see page 5 for details, including how you can participate. The renovations at Northam Park will result in our use of the Northam Park parking lot and Tremont Road for the Labor Day Arts Festival (see pages 24–25 for an event map). Additional upcoming events include our final Movie in the Park, Fall Fest, Cycle UA, and the Songwriter Social – a new event within the UA Performance Series. Look for details in the Experience section, starting on page 20. End of summer pool and tennis schedules are available in the Explore section. The Ameilta Mirolo Barn and park shelters are available for fall rentals – be sure to consider the Barn for your holiday parties. We have something for everyone in our Enrich section. Starting on page 28 you will find a full breakdown of our program offerings. Local day trips are a fun way to get around the region, see new places and try some new food. Our introductory sports programs provide an opportunity for your young ones to try different sports in a fun environment. Our fitness and wellness programs help you maintain or improve your physical and mental health as you head into the holiday season. While this is a fall guide, this edition also includes information on Winter Break Day Camp and Breakfast and Brunch with Santa (pg. 40). Please take a read through all we have to offer this fall and consider joining us for an activity! As a reminder, PLAY UA is a financial assistance program available for residents to offset the cost of recreation programs and facility memberships. In most cases, qualifying residents receive a 50% reduction once registered. Information is available on page 2 of this guide and at upperarlingtonoh.gov/play-ua/. Make it a great fall by seeing how you can Enrich, Experience and Explore with us!

Park Updates & Capital Improvements

Bob Crane Community Center

Northam Tennis and Service Building The next phase of work will focus on renovating the Northam Tennis Complex & Park Service Building. After undergoing an additional study and design process – made necessary when 2022 renovations bids exceeded the budget by approximately 30% – UA Parks & Rec has begun work to finalize designs for a reconstruction project that will be comprised of eight-to-nine clay courts (down from 12) and a reconfigured park service building including year-round restrooms. This phase is to be bid out in the fall of 2023 and if bids fall within the previously approved budget of $3.9 million, construction will likely begin early in 2024.

2023 has been a busy year for construction. You may have noticed some of the big changes happening along Tremont Road as work has begun to go vertical on the construction of the Bob Crane Community Center. Since breaking ground in April, the construction team has made a lot of progress install ing the deep concrete footers and columns that will support the building. They have started installing the thousands of feet of conduit and piping needed for the mechanical systems and, beginning in August, will go vertical as they start to form up the mezzanine level. The team will continue with the rest of the support structure throughout this year and are expected to top out in February of 2024. Opening of the Community Center is anticipated in the Spring/Summer of 2025. Follow the construction at uacommunitycenter.com , where you can register for email updates. Work is wrapping up on the Northam West Athletic Field Renovations project. The fields have been regraded and the team has installed new area drains, underdrains and irrigation. They have also installed the new backstops, dugouts and fencing at the two ball diamonds. They will wrap up work in August as they bring in new topsoil, perform the final grading and reseed the fields. As a reminder, once work is complete, the fields will be kept offline for approximately one year to give the new turf time to establish and make sure the fields are in top condition when they are ready for use again later in 2024. Northam Park Athletic Field Renovations

Northam Park Open Space Study The reduction of the Northam Tennis courts creates an approximately .44-acre area of the park that will be available, located between the courts and Tremont Pool. Recognizing that this presents an opportunity to rethink how this space could best be utilized, the department has begun a study process that is considering potential uses and ranking those uses using a set of scoring criteria, with plans to seek public input to help identify the best option. If this process is completed by early Fall, it may be possible for the department to use additional City Capital Improvement Program funds to bid this project as an add-on option with the Northam Tennis and Service Building project, so that these improvements could be undertaken at the same time.
