BENEFITS OF PARKS & RECREATION A strong parks and recreation system is essential for a thriving community.

- Four out of five North Americans use their local parks and recreation system.

- 70% have a park or recreation facility within walking distance of their home.

Parks influence our lives and we tend not to give them much thought. They require professional care and financial support to keep them clean, safe and suitable for the community they serve.

Health Benefits: Access to parks and recreation facilities leads to healthy lifestyles for people of all ages.

- Parks, greenways and trails enable and encourage people to exercise.

- Exposure to nature improves psychological and social health.

- Recreation programming helps to combat the national obesity epidemic through the development of healthy lifestyles, minds and bodies.

Environmental Benefits: Parks, open spaces and trails play a key role in preserving water and air quality, reducing congestion and protecting wildlife.

Through the provision of parks, open spaces and protected natural environment, recreation can contribute to the environmental health of our communities.

Community Benefits: Parks and recreation sources give communities a vital identity.

- Parks and recreation opportunities encourage citizens to be engaged in their communities as volunteers, stewards, advocates and students.

- Community recreation reduces alienation, loneliness and anti-social behaviors.

Economic Benefits: Parks enhance property values, contribute to healthy and productive work forces and help attract and retain businesses.

- Parks and recreation facilities make communities desirable places to live, work, play and visit.

- Parks and recreation services motivate business relocation and expansion in the community.

- In a national public opinions survey, 57% of respondents said if they were in the market to buy a new home, they would be more likely to select a home if it was close to parks and open space.

SERVICES

INCLUSION SERVICES In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, reasonable accommodations can be provided upon request to allow individuals with a disability to participate in Plymouth Parks & Recreation services, programs and activities.

Plymouth Parks & Recreation offers inclusion services. If you have questions regarding special needs and our inclusion services, please call 763-509-5200.

Inclusion PolicyPlymouth Parks & Recreation prides itself on providing quality programs and activities for people of all abilities. To create the best recreation experience for people with and without disabilities, we require a minimum of two weeks advance notice before the start of a recreation program or activity.

Without a two week notice, Plymouth Parks & Recreation is not able to guarantee that individual requests can be met. If Plymouth Parks & Recreation cannot meet a given request due to short notice, the participant would be required to arrange for their own Personal Care Attendant (PCA).

No refund will be issued due to the lack of an inclusion aide if you register less than one week from the start of the program.

To ensure that each participant has the best possible experience, follow these steps:

- Register and notify Recreation staff of any special needs a minimum of two weeks in advance.

- Complete and return the Participant Information Form.

Residents also receive a discount off initiation fees. The City of Plymouth is not involved in Life Time’s membership services or day-to-day operations. Contacting Life Time is strongly recommended, as they have specific admittance requirements (i.e. hours, ID’s required for those 16 years and older). Call 763-509-0909 for information.
