Fall is typically a time for reflection, but with the recent City Council approval of the budget for the Parks and Trails Maintenance Initiative, approximately 1.2 million dollars, Durham Parks and Recreation (DPR) and the City's General Services Department have a lot of work to do. The most recent Resident Satisfaction Survey has shown marked improvement in Parks and Recreation facilities and services for the past four years. However, we have heard loud and clear that you want to see more improvement in greenways/trails and recreation program services and quality. We want to thank you for your participation in the Resident Satisfaction Survey and the master planning process – initiatives that help us learn what is important to you. We have taken your feedback and have been working on the following areas: teen programming, parks connecting communities, marketing, and fitness and wellness programs. Soon you will see new and exciting initiatives, innovative programming, and improved service and facilities in these areas.

A few other exciting improvements to our facilities have taken place and are definitely worth checking out soon. The Downtown Durham Armory, one of our special event rental spaces, has received some great improvements that have restored it to its glory days, including exposing the brick walls that have been painted for years and opening up some windows to let in more natural light. The Armory will reopen for rentals in October.

Leigh Farm Park, one of two Heritage Parks in DPR’s park system, has been developed for public use and we'll celebrate with an opening on Saturday, October 11. Come out and learn more about this historical gem! More details about the opening will be available at www.DPRPlayMore.org.

We look forward to this new and exciting chapter for the City of Durham Parks and Recreation!

ADOPT-A-PARK and ADOPT-A-TRAIL PROGRAMSA Great Way to Give Back - Adopt a Park or Trail!

Volunteers from all over the community support Durham’s parks and trails through the Adopt-A-Park and Adopt-A-Trail (APAT) programs. This program is a great opportunity for you or your organization to make a positive difference in your community.

Since 2003, community groups have supported their community by adopting parks and trail segments in Durham through the Adopt-A-Park and Adopt-A-Trail (APAT) programs. DPR manages nearly 1,800 acres of parkland in more than 68 parks and more than 25 miles of greenways, and we’re still growing. The assistance we receive from adopting agencies is invaluable as we make every effort to care for our natural resources.

The City of Durham’s Parks and Recreation and General Services Departments provide routine park maintenance and repairs; however, the adopting individuals and organizations give the park or trail the extra care and attention it needs. Adopters work on a variety of projects of their choosing. They have assisted with numerous cleanup, landscaping, and facility improvement projects.

Any individual or organization interested in bettering our parks and trails can adopt. For additional information on the Adopt-A-Park and Adopt-A Trail programs, please visit our website: www.DPRPlayMore.org. You may also contact Mal Atkinson, at 919-560-4355 or [email protected].

Leigh Farm Park Grand Opening Celebration Saturday, October 11

Leigh Farm Park has recently undergone extensive renovations, including addition of a visitors center, ADA access improvements, parking lot paving and historical building restoration. Join us for the grand opening on Saturday, October 11, as we celebrate this historic park! More details on the opening celebration can be found at www.DPRPlayMore.org. Leigh Farm Park is located just north of N.C. 54 at the I-40 interchange on 370 Leigh Farm Road. The 82.8-acre property is anchored by a seven-acre historic core listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. The historic area includes the Leigh House (circa 1835), an early 19th century dairy, a mid-19th century slave cabin with notable stick-built chimney, smokehouse, corn crib and a late 19th century well house and carriage house. The property also features a second mid-19th century slave cabin with a 1930 Rustic Revival log addition, an early 20th century tobacco barn and pack house, several mid-20th century residences, and wooded acreage that was historically open agricultural land. DPR currently has three partners conducting programs, camps, classes, tournaments, and special events at Leigh Farm: Piedmont Wildlife Center sponsors an annual Festival for Wildlife and conducts year-round camps and classes. Durham Orange Recreational Disc Association manages the park’s 18-hole recreational and professional level disc golf course. Bountiful Backyards maintains a sustainable agriculture program and gardens on land that was historically farmed.

Swim LessonsThe American Red Cross Swimming and Water Safety program is offered. The different courses seek to help participants of all ages and varying abilities develop familiarity with being in the water; learn basic skills for aquatic safety, survival, and recreational swimming; and develop an awareness of how to stay safe in, on or around the water. Each progressive level builds on, and reinforces, acquired skills and knowledge. As participants develop aquatic skills, they become safer and better swimmers. For more information about ARC Learn-to-Swim Lessons at DPR, visit the Aquatics section of our website at www.DPRPlayMore.org.

October is National Crime Prevention MonthThe key to crime prevention is education. Once you have been educated on crime and crime prevention, it is important to spread the word. Although National Crime Prevention Month aims to decrease all crime in general, the main focus is on crimes in the home and community. For more information on crime, crime prevention, National Crime Prevention Month or how you can become involved, visit the National Crime Prevention Council's website at http://www.ncpc.org/. For Durham Police Department activities (919) 560-4404.

Holiday SafetyDuring the holiday season there are simple safety strategies that could lessen, or even eliminate, the opportunity for a crime to occur - whether in town or travelling, shopping, driving or surfing the internet. In general be aware of surroundings at all times, be alert to suspicious people, vehicles and advertisements and avoid dangerous situations. In November, check out www.durhampolice.com for Yuletide Tips for Holiday Safety or call the Community Resource Unit at (919) 560-4404.

Trick-or-Treaters Safety Tips• Carry a flashlight.• Walk, don’t run.• Stay on sidewalks. If no sidewalk, walk on the left side of the road facing traffic. • Obey traffic signals. • Stay in familiar neighborhoods. • Don’t cut across yards or driveways.• Wear a watch you can read in the dark. • Shoes should fit (even if they match the costume).• Carry only flexible knives, swords or other props.• Wear clothing with reflective markings or tape.• Approach only houses that are lit.• Stay away from, and don’t pet animals you don’t know. • Do NOT wear masks while walking from house to house.For additional tips for parents and homeowners, in October check out DPD’s Halloween Safety Tips flier on www.durhampolice.com.

PAL Soccer, BasketballDPD’s Police Athletic League (PAL) offers fall soccer and winter basketball leagues for elementary age youth (grades 1 to 5). Registration for these programs is handled through participating elementary schools. PAL is a crime prevention program that utilizes sports and recreational activities to create trust and understanding between police officers and youth. For more information call the police department at (919) 560-4404 ext. 29400 or email [email protected].

Mental Health and the HolidaysFor some the holidays are not a happy season and can bring on feelings of depression and anxiety. If you or your loved one experiences a mental health crisis that can potentially lead to a safety issue, call 911 and request a police officer prepared in Crisis Intervention Training (CIT). Since its start in 2007, Durham CIT has graduated more than 600 first responders including police officers, firefighters, EMS workers, Citizen Observer Patrol (COP) volunteers in addition to school personnel. Call the CIT/Victim Services Unit at (919) 560-4438 extension 29227 or email [email protected]. Learn about Mental Illness and the Holidays: Myths vs. Reality on www.durhampolice.com.
