Dixon Parks staff detail fall programs, classes and events
Summary
City recreation staff previewed a slate of fall offerings: senior events, a sold‑out Apple Hill trip, pool winter closure on Oct. 24, CPR/first-aid classes, youth camps, movie nights and holiday events including a Dec. 6 tree lighting.
Recreation staff reviewed upcoming fall and winter programming at the Sept. 23 meeting, including senior activities, seasonal sports, classes and special events. The Senior Club will host an annual senior resource fair on Oct. 18; a ReadyRide trip to Apple Hill is scheduled for Oct. 3 (cost $25 and the trip was reported as full as of the meeting); lap swim at the pool will end on Oct. 24 for seasonal maintenance.
Staff listed CPR/first-aid/AED offerings open to ages 12 and older with an online portion and an in-person certification; staff said one class is scheduled for Nov. 22 and a second for Dec. 20, with a cost of $110. Babysitting 101 (ages 11–15) was also announced with a reported cost of $105, though the transcript includes garbled year values for those class dates that could not be confirmed. Other recreation offerings discussed included basketball camps over Thanksgiving and Christmas weeks, winter pickleball starting in January, several movie‑in‑the‑park nights and special events such as Brewfest (Oct. 18), downtown Halloween (Oct. 31), a holiday open house (Nov. 22) and the Christmas tree lighting on Dec. 6.
"The class is $110 and it's 1 day," a staff member said while describing the CPR/first-aid class structure. Staff also noted aquatic maintenance tasks during the pool closure, including deep cleaning, heater servicing and lighting replacement.
