Hiking, Biking & Boating4

Binder Lake Boat Ramp The Binder Lake boat ramp sports a “rougher” texture that eliminates slipping on the moss during the summer. The ramp is at a greater pitch which makes loading and unloading much easier.

Missouri River Access The river has always been right in our back yard. Now it is easily accessible! The Carl R. Noren Missouri River Access, located in North Jefferson Recreation Area, is open from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Park Improvements

• In cooperation with Cole County Public Works, greenway trail extension along the new Business Hwy. 50/Apache Flats roadway im-provements is complete. The 1.17 mile greenway trail runs along the north side of the roadway improvements connecting Country Club Drive to Binder Park. A series of sidewalks will connect to the greenway trail offering pedestrians safe access to local businesses, residential neighborhoods and Pioneer Trail Elementary School.

• The .3 mile of greenway trail along new Creek Trail Drive is now open for use. This is the first phase to construct a greenway trail loop connector from the West Edgewood Dr. parking lot, south under Hwy 179 eventually connecting back to West Edgewood Drive. The new loop will follow the Frog Hollow branch of Wears Creek.

• Design and planning is underway to build Phase II of the Frog Hollow Greenway Trail extension. Phase II will extend the existing trail across the creek , via a low water crossing, to just west of the Hwy 179 overpass. Work is scheduled for the summer of 2015.

• Better access to the West Edgewood Drive Recreation Area will soon be possible with the rehabilitation and installation of a pedestrian/bicycle bridge over Frog Hollow branch of Wears Creek. The new bridge will connect the greenway trail at the West Edgewood Drive parking lot and the mountain bike and hiking trails located in the West Edgewood Drive Recreation Area. Project made possible through a generous donation from the Jefferson City Host Lions Club and a Land and Water Conservation Fund outdoor recreation grant.

• Construction of the Clay Street Trailhead Bike Plaza is complete. The new plaza is located at the intersection of Clay Street and West Main Street at the entrance to the Missouri River Bridge Pedestrian/Bicycle walkway. The new trailhead offers trail users off-street park-ing, water fountain, informational signage, park benches and safe access to and from the Missouri River Bridge walkway.

GREENWAY TRAIL EXPANSION

• Complete new 18 hole disc golf course at Binder Park. This project was made possible with the help of the Jefferson City Disc Golf Club. For more information about the Jefferson City Disc Golf Club and the development of the new course, visit www.jeffersoncitydis-cgolfclub.appspot.com or like them on Facebook.

• The McClung Park playground is scheduled to be replaced in the summer of 2015.• Design work is complete on the next phase of the Oak Hills Golf Course Master Plan - renovation of hole #9. Plans include shortening

the hole to a par 3, building a new, larger green complex, expanding existing back tees, constructing a new forward tee, adding new cart path and increasing the size of the retention pond. Golf course crew will begin work late winter/early spring of 2015.

• Improvements are complete at the Washington Park Ice Arena. Park crews have installed a metal roof over the warming house, com-pleted warming house ceiling, lighting and interior improvements, installed new safety flooring throughout the warming house and upgraded the HVAC system.

A Word To Parents...

Memorial Park Family Aquatic Center & Ellis-Porter Riverside Pool

In an effort to keep our pool free of fecal matter, toddlers are required to wear swim diapers or plastic pants. Swim diapers are the safest barrier between your toddler and the water. These guidelines have been adopted for the health and safety of all who swim at our facilities. If your child has been sick with diarrhea please keep them at home until they are well. You may purchase swim diapers at either pool for a nominal fee or bring your own.

When inclement weather occurs, aquatic staff will remain at the pools and attempt to re-open the pools as soon as possible. If patrons remain at the pool, and we are unable to re-open after 45 minutes, a pass will be issued for one free future ad-mission with proof of receipt. This policy is in effect until one hour prior to official closing. For pool closing information, call the Parks and Recreation Hotline, 634-6485 and press #5.

Things You Should Know

The views of any program or activity ad-vertised within this guide and sponsored by any organization other than the Jefferson City Parks and Recreation De-partment do not necessarily reflect the views of the Jefferson City Parks and Recreation Department.

Sponsorships

The Parks and Recreation Commission believes that no youth should be denied access to Parks and Recreation programs for financial reasons. The Parks and Recreation Foundation makes recreation sponsorships available to those who otherwise would not be able to afford to participate in organized recreation activities. Those seeking sponsorships will be asked to complete a Recreation Spon-sorship Application Form available through the Department of Parks and Recreation. Sponsorships are generally limited to those receiving benefits from a form of public assistance as designated on the ap-plication form. Sponsorship funding is limited to $200 per individual per calendar year and is re-stricted to ongoing programs conducted by Parks and Recreation staff. Specialized programs of short duration conducted by non-staff members (e.g. baseball clinics) are ineligible for sponsorship funding. All application forms requesting fund-ing for youth programs must be signed by the parent/guardian of the prospective participant. Participants/parents must pay a minimum of 20% of the registration fee for programs for which sponsorship assis-tance is requested. Questions concerning this service may be directed to Phil Stiles at 634-6482.

Jefferson City is home to an award winning Parks and Recreation Department. As the capital city of Missouri, maintaining our local parks and recreation facilities and implementing programs to meet the ever changing needs of our community and its visitors is a challenge. The Jefferson City Parks and Recre-ation Foundation strives to provide ad-ditional resources to leverage taxes, fees and grants to enhance our parks and rec-reation services. Over the years, civic minded individuals and organizations have maintained a tradition of enhancing the quality of life for their families, friends, and neighbors through generous donations to the Jefferson City Parks and Recreation system. In 1992, the Jefferson City Parks and Recreation Foundation was formed to pro-vide continuing leadership and foster the expansion of parks and recreation services in Jefferson City. The Foundation’s goal is to emphasize the value of parks and recre-ation - both passive and active - not only for individual growth and development, but also for a strong family unit and for making our community a more desirable place to live, work, play and visit. If you believe, as we do, that whole-some recreation pursuits make individuals more productive in their homes and com-munities and lead to a healthier and hap-pier life, please commit your support to the Jefferson City Parks and Recreation Foun-dation. Land, trees, fountains, benches, shelters, activity fees for youth programs are all gifts that can make a difference in people’s lives. Any and all size of gifts to our community are appreciated and con-tribute to the livability and quality of life of Jefferson City. For more information on how you can make a tax deductible contribution of land, money, or other gifts, please contact the Foundation’s Executive Director William Lockwood at 634-6482.

Jefferson City Parks & Recreation

Foundation As a recipient of federal funds from the U.S. Department of the Interior, the Jefferson City Parks and Recreation Com-mission and the Jefferson City Department of Parks and Recreation operates programs subject to the nondiscrimination require-ments of Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Under Title VI, the U.S. Department of the Interior strictly prohibits discrimination because of race, color, or national origin in its federally assisted programs. Any person who believes he or she has been discriminated against in any program or facility of the Jefferson City Department of Parks and Recreation, or desires further information regarding Title VI, should write immediately to: The Office for Equal Opportunity U.S. Department of Interior Office of the Secretary Washington, D.C. 20240

In any Parks and Recreation program, a participant who is bleeding or who has blood on his/her clothing shall be pro-hibited from participating further in the ac-tivity until appropriate treatment has been administered. Appropriate treatment may include bandaging as necessary to prevent re-currence. This policy has been implemented to protect the participants, coaches, staff, and their families from diseases trans-ported through the accidental contact of tainted blood. If medical care is needed, the participant must leave the activity until the problem situation has been resolved. A 70% isopropyl alcohol solution must be used to disinfect the skin and clothing.
