2023 has been an eventful year!
We have enjoyed seeing so many community events on the Point this year – from dances with live music, to workshops and classes – our community is full of so many generous and creative folks!
The community center has been host to many meetings and events. The park district Zoom account has continued to be of benefit to many community groups. And, thanks to the sustained support of a grant from Whidbey Telecom the community center has continued to offer free and fast Wi-Fi.
In June, the district helped celebrate the 50th anniversary of the dedication of Lighthouse Marine Park. In July, Kids Camp 2023 was a success thanks to our wonderful camp counselors, volunteers, and of course the kids! The kayak and paddleboard program was a hit once again – with equipment located at Lighthouse Marine Park and Maple Beach for all the community to use.
We continued the new tradition of offering free movie nights, as well as having the community center open frequently on Tuesdays for folks to play pool, ping-pong, or enjoy a warm cup of joe. The pickleball equipment and court has seen frequent play, and even a tournament! Over the spring and summer, the district conducted a survey to gather information regarding the wants of the community in relation to district programs and facilities – with 559 individuals represented in the collected data.
The district welcomed a new employee, Bill Knowles, in March, as well as a new board member, Allison Calder in April. Most recently, Stephen Falk returned to the park district board in December.
We are looking forward to facilitating the hosting of your event at the community center or Baker Field in 2024. If we can be of any assistance, please email us at: prparkdistrict@gmail.com.
Wishing you a healthy and happy 2024!
