1. Work on the Beacon Park in Beall Park was scheduled to begin the week of January 7, but
we will need more snow in order to meet that deadline. We will plan to set the park up after
the next significant snowfall.
2. The Recreation Division Staff and the Bozeman High School Honor Society helped Santa
make 64 phone calls and write 94 letters this year!
3. Ice skating lessons will begin the second week of January and we are excited to be offering
lessons on the Southside Rink as well as the Bogert Rink . The lessons at Bogert are
contracted through the Bozeman Figure Skating Club. We are thrilled about this new
partnership.
4. We have several new programs starting in January including: lunch hour Zumba (for adults)
at Beall and Aqua Zumba at the Swim Center, Drop in and Play at Beall for babies, toddlers
and their parents, a Superhero Preschool class, Kinder Basketball at Hope Church, a Little
Explorers Tour of a local dentist office, ice skating lessons and three "schools out" full day
youth camps.
5. We welcomed two new part time Recreation Leader I's that bring a lot of experience to our
division. Hanna Reese and Katie Coyne will be helping to implement many of the programs
we have on our schedule.
6. The Recreation Division remains extremely busy with marketing, program implementation,
program planning for the summer (due February 1) and facility rentals, among other daily
operations. We are really excited about some new programs and events we have in the
works, stay tuned!
