Parks and Recreation highlights spring registrations, resource fair and upcoming events
Summary
Staff reported roughly 2,016 spring registrations across programs, a Belhaven Community Resource Fair March 28, a spring festival/egg hunt on April 4 (free for residents, $5 nonresidents, advanced registration for the egg hunt), and a closed-all-staff training day March 27; softball league registration filled at seven teams.
Staff presented department statistics and activities on March 25: spring activity registration opened March 12 for locals and March 18 for nonresidents, with about 2,016 registrants. The Belhaven Community Resource Fair is scheduled March 28 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.; the city—s spring festival and egg hunt is April 4 with advanced registration required for the hunt and sensory-friendly hunts for young children.
Staff said softball-league registration reached capacity with seven teams (~56–70 players) and that staff will hold an all-hands training day on March 27. The department noted several outreach and partnership items, including community gardens and coordination with community-development colleagues on developer-provided public amenities.
Why it matters: These operational items reflect resident participation, seasonal programming load and outreach priorities; they also inform commission scheduling and future agenda items.
Next step: Staff will continue to monitor registration, coordinate logistics for listed events and return on program outcomes.
