2 CITY OF AUBURN PARKS & RECREATION DEPARTMENT MISSION STATEMENT The mission of the Auburn Parks & Recreation Department is two-fold: to provide quality leisure services and facilities to the citizens of Auburn and to appropriately manage Auburn s cemeteries. Greetings: On behalf of the City of Auburn Parks and Recreation Department, I invite you to take a look at our 2019 Calendar of Events. From pre-school to 50 plus to athletics to special events, the calendar is designed to help you keep up with all of our programs throughout the year. Whether you are a seasoned patron or just becoming acquainted with us, we invite you to discover everything that your Parks and Recreation Department has to offer. The City of Auburn provides equal opportunity for participation in programs without regard to race, sex, national origin, citizenship, or disability. Sincerely, Becky Richardson Parks and Recreation Director Our mission at Auburn Parks and Recreation is to provide quality leisure services and facilities to the citizens of Auburn. We feel it is important to take time to enjoy the simple pleasures in life, whether you are making memories with family and friends at one of our events, enjoying a walk or run through one of our many parks, or discovering a new hobby through one of our quarterly class offerings. Auburn Parks and Recreation is committed to enhancing the quality of life of all our citizens. We encourage your feedback. It is a valuable asset in adjusting and adding programs. I would like to take a moment to thank the many local businesses that support our leagues, events, and programs each year. Their generosity allows us to provide cost-effective services to tens of thousands of citizens. If you are attending one of our many free community events throughout the year, you can be assured that it is because of the support of a local business will be an exciting year for Auburn Parks and Recreation. We are excited about new additions to our parks and facilities. Be on the lookout for public meeting notices regarding public meetings as we begin the design process on the new additions. Thank you for your continued support of Auburn Parks and Recreation. We look forward to everything 2019 has in store. We hope to see you many times throughout the year.
