Greetings from the Owatonna Parks and Recreation Department! This brochure features general information, our fall programs, activities and park amenities. Our department continues to update our website, www.ci.owatonna.mn.us/parksrecreation, to make it more customer friendly; we strongly encourage our users to like us on Facebook too. We have worked hard to also provide information through: school fl yers, weekly columns in the Saturday edition of the People’s Press, weekly radio shows and community calendar items on KRFO & KOWZ, interviews on the “Owatonna Today Show”, announcements with the Owatonna Area Chamber of Commerce and our own email blasts. If you would like to receive our e-mails, please send your e-mail address to [email protected]. Be sure to check out all of our NEW offerings in this brochure. SeniorPlace is leading the NEW offerings with Wine Tasting Adventures, Art Classes,

Backyard Blast, NFL Weekly Pick’em and Yoga to name a few! What else is NEW? Lots! An off-leash Dog Park at Lake Chase, a patio/deck at Brooktree Golf Course, a Mountain Biking Trail in Kaplan’s Woods, a Clubhouse Playground at Manthey Park. Check out these new amenities, and while you’re at it, bring your camera! Snap a photo and enter our fi rst annual photo contest! We have had the Maximum Solutions registration program for a year now, and hope you fi nd it easy to use for activity registration and membership purchases. Customers can set-up their own individual or family account for registering online; the internet is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and you don’t have to take a trip to the Parks & Recreation offi ce! Parks and Recreation is vitally important to establishing and maintaining the quality of life in a community. Recent studies from colleges and the National Recreation and Parks Association have suggested spending time with nature in our parks and gardens can improve individual satisfaction in life and make us less aggressive, anxious and stressed. So isn’t it time we placed access to nature alongside good health, feeling secure, satisfying employment and positive social relationships as key routes to happiness? Here’s my list of “The Top Ten Things to Do in Owatonna Parks & Recreation”. Remember that “Your Best Investment is your Parks and Recreation Department”!

For over 55 years, the Owatonna Foundation has awarded grants totaling over $11 million for projects that touch everyaspect of our lives in the following categories:

10. Park CruiseThere are 30 parks with over 700 acres of which over 350 are mowed, trimmed and mulched. If you’re thirsty you can stop at one of our 22 drinking fountains available and if you need a potty stop, there are 24 permanent restrooms and 22 portable restrooms open to the public.

9. Pet Work Out Whether on the road, on a trail, or just walking through the open spaces within a park, there is plenty of space for both you and your pet. There are two rules when taking your pet to the park; keep your pet on a leash and clean up after them. There are 24 “pooper scooper” stations within the park system with the majority of them located along the trails. We go through over 3000 scoopers a year! Please use them but don’t abuse them. And check out the NEW Off-Leash Dog Park now open at Chase Lake!!

8. Minnesota State Public School Orphanage MuseumDuring a rainy day, visiting the museum located at 540 West Hills Circle would be an excellent choice. This unique museum is the only museum in Minnesota where the public can learn about the state orphanage era. A visit to this well maintained museum is educational and interesting, and will help you understand and appreciate the orphanage experience. Cottage 11 is also open for touring 1:00-4:00pm Tuesday through Sunday; and six audio stations can be found around the campus as well.

7. Round of GolfThe Brooktree Golf Course or the “muni” as remembered by some of the locals is open to the public until usually mid-November depending on the weather. If round ball golf is not your game, try Disc (Frisbee) Golf. The River Rock Disc Golf Course is located in Mineral Springs Park. Like Brooktree on Facebook for more information and specials. Make sure to check out all the NEW improvements at Brooktree, especially the deck and patio area attached to the clubhouse! 6. Pick-Up GameWhatever your game, there are many areas within the park system to enjoy your favorite game. Five basketball courts, 16 tennis courts, 4 Pickleball courts at Morehouse Park, 5 football fi elds (2 at Jr. High and 3 at Manthey), 8 sand volleyball courts, 13 soccer fi elds, 22 ball fi elds with batting cages at many sites, 18 horseshoe courts and an inline rink at Morehouse.

5. Go Fishin’Fishing opportunities abound, be it in a lake or river, by boat, canoe or from the shore. Your catch can range from sunfi sh to walleyes or whatever turns your reel. Please do not dump live bait into the lakes or river.Lake Kohlmier offers three fi shing piers, as well as hundreds of feet of shoreline and an island. The boat landing is located at the southeast corner of the lake, off 18th Street SW. Boaters, remember that outboard motors are prohibited, but electronic trolling motors may be used. Many different species of fi sh can be found in this lake. The Straight River also provides some excellent fi shing opportunities usually done from shore but a canoe works well too. Lots of shoreline and serenity is available from the popular spots below and above the dam.Chase Lake is one of the locals’ HOTSPOTS! This lake opened to the public in 2009, and is accessed off County road 45. There is a portable restroom and a few picnic tables for a picnic. Fishing from shore for sunnies is the choice of many.Many a fi sh tale come from these three favorite fi shing spots that include walleye, musky, northern, crappie, bass and oh yeah, an occasional bullhead!

4. Take a BreakIf it’s a lunch break or just a break to get away from it all, the parks offer many areas to just sit back and relax, enjoy life, think, or read a book. From one of our 100 park benches or 400 picnic tables you can enjoy many different settings. There is also plenty of space to throw out a blanket or walk into the woods and grab a stump. If your break includes a snack, please be sure to dispose of the litter in one of the more than 400 receptacles available. A good way to check a few out is with the “Park

Passport Program”. This popular program is included as an insert in this brochure.

3. Take a Child to a PlaygroundPlaygrounds are the #1 spot for many children but don’t forget they are available for everyone to enjoy! From fully handicapped-accessible playgrounds to swings (40 different swings available) large enough for most adults, there are 11 different playground sites all offering their own variety of equipment. Although there is something for everyone at any age, the most enjoyable experience is to take a young child to a playground. Young children must be supervised on the equipment as you play along with them; older children can be viewed from a bench that surrounds most playgrounds. Whatever the age, a camera is a must! NEW this summer, a Club House playground and other amenities have been added to Manthey Park – check it out! This would be a great opportunity to snap a photo to enter into the photo contest!

2. Hike, Bike, and RollWhether you like to walk, jog, hike, run, bike, rollerblade or skateboard, there’s a trail out there for you! We have 8 miles of hard surfaced, handicapped accessible trails along with over 12 miles of wood chipped trails and nature walks. The hard surfaced trails are open year round, 24 hours a day for your enjoyment. Wood chipped trails are located throughout Kaplan’s Woods and Manthey Park. Nature walks are located off the Kaplan’s Woods Parkway Trail and at Leo Rudolph Nature Reserve. There is exercise equipment located along the trail between Morehouse Park and Lake Kohlmier, installed in 2009. All the trails offer viewing of a wide variety of wildlife including deer, turkey, beaver, fox, raccoon, pheasants and the more familiar squirrels, rabbits, ducks and geese. The North Straight River Trail runs from North Street to 26th Street and has a crushed rock surface. Along this trail you will also fi nd a wood chipped trail loop. If you have not checked this trail out - it’s a must see! NEW this summer, Mountain Biking Trails in Kaplan’s Woods! As you can see, many different types of trail opportunities are available to you no matter what your age or mode of transportation.

1. Sunset Picnic at Gainey Park Pavilion There are 13 different pavilions within the park system that you may reserve or just use (if no one has it reserved). There are traditional shelters, the heated Morehouse Park Chalet, and the Gainey Park Pavilion which boasts a beautiful fi replace. With fall’s cooler evenings and earlier sunsets, this site is my favorite. From this shelter you can view the beautiful Straight River and its fall colors at sunset, and start a fi re (wood is provided!). The fi re provides warmth, atmosphere and could be used to roast hot dogs and marshmallows. If hot dogs are not to your liking, each pavilion has its own grill (there are over 90 grills available within the parks).

I hope you can get out and enjoy this Top 10 or your own Top 10 in YOUR parks this fall. If you have any suggestions on how to make further improvements to your Parks & Recreation Department services, please let us know.

Therapeutic Recreation ProgramOur program offers a variety of leisure options for youth and adults with disabilities. We provide an adaptive format as well as opportunities for inclusion. Our policy within the Therapeutic Recreation program is to plan for the person first, the disability second, and to encourage the independent pursuit of personal leisure interests. Our goal is to make recreation and leisure choices available to everyone, and our objective is to accommodate individuals with necessary adaptations so they may participate as fully as their non-disabled peers.

Membership Benefits:• A newsletter six times a year, providing a calendar of trips, special events,

weekly scheduled activities and program information.• Transportation to local activities for members within city limits, for Night

Club programs.• Experienced Park and Recreation staff facilitating programs and events.• Discount on membership fees to the West Hills Tennis & Fitness Center.• Access to resources and agencies such as ADD, Special Olympics, PACER

and other advocates for persons with disabilities.• Scholarships and financial assistance available upon request.

Inclusion in Youth ProgramsYouth with disabilities or health concerns are encouraged to participate in youth sports, aquatics, trips and programs. The inclusion policy of the program provides all children registered to participate with an equal advantage. Adaptive equipment, program modifications and other accommodations are used to assist the individual as needed. Individualized consultation with parents and coordination with the coach or instructor helps make the transition possible. In addition, all coaches, aquatic staff and summer staff receive resource information for working with the child in their training sessions. Requests for one-to-one assistance is provided when possible. When enrolling your child in sports and other programs, please let staff know of medical conditions or other special needs. Information shared with a coach or instructor is confidential.

Adapted GroupsTeen ClubThis activity group is designed for ages 14-22 who have developmental disabilities and would benefit from social interaction and a place to go meet friends. Activities include structured crafts, games, local trips, tours, and attending OHS events as a group.

• Meets weekly, Thursdays 6:30-8:00pm, locations include SeniorPlace and other sites.

Night ClubThis social group is designed for adults 22 years and older, who have developmental disabilities and mental health issues. This group is an extension of Teen Club and functions similarly. Activities are more age appropriate for adults, as we encourage the independent pursuit of leisure interest whenever possible. Night Club is a place to establish and cultivate friendships through recreation.

• Meets weekly, Wednesdays 6:30-8:00pm, locations include SeniorPlace and other sites.

• Transportation provided to members in city limits for a minimal fee, riders must call Owatonna Bus Company for pick up.

LIFELIFE (Leisure Is For Everyone) is a leisure education program designed for individuals with disabilities, 20-35 years old. Members of the LIFE group learn skills necessary to make the most of their leisure time. While keeping involved in recreation activities and pursuing new friendships, they also learn to plan and organize their daily schedules outside of work using a personal planner. Our goals are to explore personal leisure interests and community resources; develop an understanding of self-advocacy and personal independence, and learn the rewards that come from volunteering. We encourage members to attend without staff, if possible. This group serves as a transition program between Teen Club and Night Club, and members will learn the importance of choosing and planning leisure options.

• Meets weekly, Wednesdays 4:30-6:00pm, locations include SeniorPlace and other sites

• Personal planner is required, planning sessions held every 6 weeksDetails for Night Club, Teen Club, and LIFE
