PLAY UA Financial Assistance Program

“…[PLAY UA] helped me give more “normal” to my son and helped him fit in with his friends. It is part of the reason I chose to move to UA and why we love living here, with the support of our community.” UA Parks & Rec is committed to eliminating barriers for individuals and families, so that everyone can enjoy our programs and facilities. Don’t let a financially challenging situation prevent you from enjoying summer at the pool or the many programs offered in our Enrich section.

Now is a great time for people ages 15 and older to check out opportunities to join our team at www.GovernmentJobs.com/Careers/UAOH/Seasonal . I hope you take time to enjoy some of our offerings.

The spring and summer seasons are upon us, and this Activity Guide brings many recreational opportunities to EXPLORE , EXPERIENCE and ENRICH . Our team is excited with our line-up of programs and events, park renovations, new equipment for park maintenance and, of course, construction of the Bob Crane Community Center. The vertical construction of the Bob Crane Community Center Construction was celebrated with a topping out ceremony on February 12, with the final structural beam installed. Construction transitions to exterior facade and interior finishes in April, including excavation for the pool. Our team is planning operations and programs for an anticipated Spring/Summer 2025 opening. The community center website is updated frequently to share progress: www.CommunityCenter.UpperArlingtonOH.gov/ Park development projects include replacing the playground in Thompson Park – see page 3 for renderings of the new design. Northam Park improvements consist of a new service building, nine replacement clay tennis courts (which begins in August following a shortened season), and six dedicated pickleball courts. New projects will include planning processes for the Fancyburg Park Master Plan and replacement of the Devon Pool toddler feature – both to include public input opportunities. Park maintenance will be enhanced with new pieces of equipment: a baseball diamond infield groomer to grade and level infields, to improve surfaces and drainage; and an autonomous athletic field painter which will significantly reduce staff and volunteer time, as well as the cost of paint; and autonomous mowers for use in a few small parks. These technologies will help our department become more efficient, while enhancing the customer experience. Our staff continually works to elevate our programs and events, creating new experiences for you to enjoy. The UA Performance Series, Movies in the Park, and seasonal events continue to evolve and utilize park spaces throughout the community. The instruction of swim lessons this summer will be taught by Department staff under the direction of our extensively skilled and experienced Aquatics Manager, Mike Hamer. Lessons now include an evening option parent/child introductory level. Check out lesson information on page 28. EXPLORE • The Northam Tennis Courts will operate in a modified fashion as we undergo construction of the new tennis courts and service building. Get more info on play and hours on page 10. • Our Pool schedule is modified to provide consistent hours, open 11 am-8 pm daily during our regular season. This includes opening an hour earlier on Sundays. We are also adding evening rentals for small groups at Devon Pool.

Park Updates & Capital Improvement Projects

Thompson Park Playground Update Thank you to everyone that provided feedback on the new playground at Thompson Park! Outreach began this past October with an initial survey to find out what residents would like to see in a new design. Over 200 residents participated, including 19 children’s worksheets completed by the true playground experts - kids! Parents said that open slides, toddler play and rope climbers were important parts of a playground design. The kids let us know that rope bridges, climbing play and spinners were some of their favorite features. Based on the initial feedback, our playground vendor (Midstates Recreation) provided three potential options for the design of the new playground. These concepts were shared with the community through an online survey and 515 residents participated. The favorite concept was Option 2 with 50% of the vote. Option 1 was a distant second with 29% and Option 3 got 22%. In addition to selecting a favorite concept, we also asked residents to provide any other comments that would be helpful in the design of the new playground. The most repeated comment received was the importance of shade and maintaining existing trees on site. In response to this, Staff worked with Midstates Recreation to add a large shade sail to the main structure of Option 2. Additionally, the playground was carefully sited to minimize the impact to existing trees. A couple of trees will be removed for the project, but these are trees that were already scheduled for removal based on an assessment of their health. Additional new trees will be planted at the playground to help supplement the trees that are removed. Also, staff have made plans to supplement the playground in the future with an adjacent nature play area which will be installed in future years. Again, thank you to everyone that provided input on the new playground. Removal of the existing playground will begin this spring to prepare the site for the new playground. We are anticipating that the new playground will be installed in time for day camp this summer.

Northam Park Update Work also began this winter on the renovation of the Northam Park Service Building and Tennis Complex. Bids for the project came in under budget, allowing the inclusion of all the alternate items, including six public dedicated pickleball courts. Additionally, project funding will allow for the inclusion of underground irrigation to the clay tennis courts and a kitchen space within the service building. These improvements are on top of the base scope of the project, which included a new service building with storage and year round restrooms, replacement of park walking paths and renovation of nine clay tennis courts. This project will be an exciting next step in the renovation of Northam Park. The clay tennis courts will remain open throughout the summer as work progresses on the rest of the project. The full scope is scheduled to be complete later this fall with the anticipation that the Northam Park Tennis Complex will open on its normal schedule in Spring of 2025.
