Healthy: Spring/Summer 2021

2010 & 2015 CAPRA Accreditation CAPRA NATIONAL ACCREDITATION RECOGNITION AWARD 2010 & 2015

The City of Dublin Parks and Recreation Department is one of 175 agencies in the country and the ninth in Ohio to receive national accreditation from the Commission for Accreditation of Park and Recreation Agencies (CAPRA). We achieved re- accreditation in 2015, and distinguished ourselves even further by meeting all 144 standards. To become accredited, agencies must demonstrate their ability to meet at least 85 percent of the standards. We are pleased to exceed the standards for the ben- efit of our residents and guests. PARKS AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN The Department of Parks and Recreation creates parks, programs, activities and facilities that provide fun and life- enriching opportunities for our diverse community. Dublin values, promotes and is committed to continued investment in a healthy and balanced community lifestyle. To learn more, read the Dublin Parks and Recreation Master Plan, which was developed by our community and adopted by Dublin City Council in 2010 here on our website.

We are committed to continuing to improve our participants’ quality of life by providing recreational opportunities in a clean and safe environment. We have developed creative ways to engage our participants while at home or while social distancing as part of our effort to provide safe programming for everyone. You will find that our Spring/Summer Programs & Activities Guide focuses on programs we are able to safely offer under the guidelines issued by Franklin County Public Health and the State of Ohio. We encourage you to check back often as changes may occur and this document will be updated. When you see this symbol , please note that restrictions are in place. Several operational modifications have been made to areas within the Dublin Community Recreation Center to manage capacity numbers, allow for physical distancing and time to clean and sanitize the facility in between groups.

We thank you in advance for your patience as we continue to monitor and assess our ever-changing situation related to COVID-19.
