DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE

GETTING OUT IS IN!

- Darrell Lovelette,Director of Parks & Recreation

M. Darrell LoveletteDirector of Parks & Recreation


Welcome to the Spring & Summer Activity

Guide! I encourage you to browse through the

guide to find a program you like or maybe its

time to try something new. With the warmer

weather finally here, it’s the perfect time of

year to get outside and enjoy our many parks,

walking & biking trails and recreation possibilities.

We are especially happy to announce the opening

of Bryan’s new dog park at Morris Buzz

Hamilton Memorial Park.The dog park features

three fenced areas, for both large and small

dogs, and a common area where we will be

holding special events and programs in the

future. Unlike our other parks, dogs will be

allowed off leash once they are within the

fenced areas. The park’s fences, gates and turf

are specifically designed for durability and pet

safety. Amenities, such as water fountains are

uniquely designed for pets and people. The

park also features a pet shower for those who

would like to clean their animal before departing

from the park. The park is located on Boonville

Road immediately adjacent to the parking lot

for the Park Hudson Trail.

As always, we hope you enjoy the spring and

summer seasons and get up, get out and enjoy

all that the City of Bryan Parks and Recreation

has to offer.

The City of Bryan’s Aquatic Boot Camp is designed to push anyone, of any fitness level. This four week class meets twice a week and focuses on aerobic conditioning and toning of the body by using the resistance of the water and a variety of challenging aquatic exercises. AQBC is definitely a step up from water aerobics and your body will know it when the work out is over. It’s also a great option for those who are limited by orthopedic issues. If you think you’re in shape come see for yourself why an aquatic workout will push you to a level you didn’t know existed.

The City of Bryan’s Prenatal/Postpartum water fitness class is fun and challenging for expecting and recent moms! You will use the resistance of the water to tone your body and stay in shape during your pregnancy or after when traditional fitness routines may not be an option.

The Stroke Clinic is designed to give swimmers a chance to refine strokes and improve technique before the Summer swim season begins.

Coming soon. Check out out website for more details.www.BryanParksandRecreation.com
