UPDATE - CITY SEEKS SPONSORS FOR PARKS AND RECREATION FACILITIES & PROGRAMS

Posted on June 22, 2009
In April 2009, City Council approved a new Parks and Recreation Facility/Program Sponsorship Policy as a way to provide for greater community participation and involvement, along with a source to obtain outside funding to maintain City recreation programs and facilities.

The policy allows the City to partner with private businesses, individuals and community organizations as a way to support recreation facilities and programs. As part of the 2009 Budget process, City Council decreased the amount of funding available for maintenance of the smaller neighborhood parks.

Over the last month, eight City parks have been sponsored by these four organizations:

•  Carroll Realty: “A” Street lookout, “C” Street lookout, and Milwaukee Heights Tot-Lot.

•  ReMax Realty Team: Georgiana Park, located at Chambers & Georgiana Streets

•  Port Angeles Disc Golf Association: James View Point located at West 2 nd and Laurel Street

•  Lincoln High School Faculty, Staff and Students: Wolverton Park located at West 11 th off “A” Street

•  Olympic Peninsula Paddlers: Sail & Paddle Park and Harborview Park, both located on Ediz Hook

Other organizations have shown interest in sponsoring Hazel Porter Kiel Park located on the 100 block of West 13 th Street, and Rains Park located in the 900 block of East 8 th Street. Parks still in need of sponsorship are: Charles R. Willson Park located at 511 West 7 th , the 5 th & Oak Street Park, and Crown Park located in the 2000 block of West 4th Street.

The policy allows the City to partner with private businesses, individuals and community organizations as a way to support recreation facilities and programs. As part of the 2009 Budget process, City Council decreased the amount of funding available for maintenance of the smaller neighborhood parks.

Sponsors must comply with guidelines and procedures of the policy and support the mission and policies of the City of Port Angeles.
