Year in Review 2020: Point Roberts Park & Recreation District

Posted

The Point Roberts Park & Recreation District recognizes this has been a difficult year for everyone. We tried to make the most of it during these trying times.

Several large projects were completed at the community center including replacing our septic system, replacing the hallway flooring, and upgrading our kitchen made possible by generous grant from the Colton Foundation.

Although the community center has been closed to meetings, we continue to support the senior take-out lunch program routinely serving between 75 and 127 visitors.

The park district was able to reconstitute the kayak program at Lighthouse Marine Park and launched pickle ball as a supported activity. We can now do a better job of maintaining Baker Field with our new riding mower. The baseball field was revitalized and should be available for play next spring.

New directional signs were installed along the Baker Field trails to better assist visitors.

The park district purchased a new audio PA system for use by the community, as well as a low power FM transmitter that allows large groups to gather and listen in on an event thru the FM radio in their vehicles. We set up a Zoom account that is available for scheduled use by groups and for online recreational programs. If your group have any needs that we can help you with, please contact us at prparkdistrict@gmail.com.

At the end of the year, the district welcomed a new employee, Ina Carare. It is our sincere hope that the coming year will allow us to return with all our favorite community events that we had to set aside this past year.

From the Point Roberts Park and Recreation District, best wishes to the entire Point Roberts community.
