Parks and Recreation in Teton County is making waves with significant updates on safety training and community wellness initiatives. During a recent government meeting, Tyler Florence, the department's representative, highlighted key activities from the past two months, emphasizing a new emergency action plan developed in collaboration with Jackson EMS.

The joint training session focused on emergency response scenarios, ensuring staff are well-prepared for real-life situations. Florence praised Simon, the aquatics supervisor, for his leadership in enhancing training protocols and scheduling, noting the importance of these improvements for community safety.

In addition to safety measures, the department has expanded its offerings by introducing 21 adaptive yoga classes over the past year, partnering with local organizations like St. John's Sage Living CES and Teton Adaptive. This initiative aims to promote inclusivity and wellness within the community.

These developments underscore Teton County's commitment to both safety and health, setting a proactive tone for future recreational activities. As the department continues to evolve, residents can look forward to more engaging and supportive programs.
