Wichita Park & Recreation is introducing a new rate structure to better serve our community, effective September 1, 2024. This update includes distinct rates for residents and non-residents, ensuring fair access to our facilities and programs while continuing to provide high-quality services to all. Residents will enjoy lower rates as a benefit of community membership, while non-residents will have the opportunity to participate at slightly higher rates. By implementing this structure, we are aligning with best practices adopted by other Park & Recreation agencies across the nation. This change aims to enhance community engagement and support the sustainability of our parks and recreation services.
This week, several women from our team attended the KRPA Women's Leadership Summit at the Longhouse Visitors Center in Overland Park. The summit centered around the 34 Clifton Strengths, where our ladies delved into how leveraging each other's top 5 strengths can boost workplace efficiency, maximize productivity, and foster a stronger team. The breakout sessions were particularly empowering, as they focused on uplifting one another and emphasizing our strengths instead of our weaknesses. Our ultimate goal was to become better leaders and community servants, driving positive change within our organization and beyond.

🌟 Why Choose Summer of Discovery Camp? 🌟Parents are loving the experience their kids are having at Summer of Discovery Camp! Here's what one parent had to say about the positive impact it’s made on their child:
"I am very pleased with the experience provided to both my sons through the SOD program. Each week the kids went swimming and on a field trip or two. They also worked on various arts and crafts projects that they were so proud to show off. Each child was able to make friends in their respective groups and learn to adapt to a new environment. I am glad that this program is offered because as a parent it is worrying trying to figure out care during the summer break and to try and give your kids time to have fun when you're off of work. The SOD camp gave my children opportunities to have fun and be kids. I could not have given them all of the experiences they had this summer so I am immensely grateful to the program and staff."

🌳 Wichita Park & Rec is committed to conserving water during Stage 2 Drought 💧As we navigate Stage 2 water restrictions, our Forestry and Aquatics teams are going the extra mile to care for Wichita's trees. We’re utilizing four large trucks, each holding anywhere from 300 to 1,200 gallons of water, to drain our pools and repurpose that water to keep our city's trees healthy. These trucks refill 3 to 5 times daily, ensuring our trees get the water they need during this dry period.
Additionally, at the Kansas Wildlife Exhibit, we've taken steps to maintain the water level in the beloved little pond south of the exhibit. This park pond is a cherished feature of Riverside Park, serving as a habitat for various wildlife including fish, turtles, frogs, ducks, geese, fishing egrets and herons, dragonflies, and even the occasional muskrat.
We are proud to do our part in conserving water while also caring for our green spaces and wildlife. Together, we can make a difference! 💚
