2 CITY OF SHAKER HEIGHTS Recreation Department

Letter from the Director

Who would have thought we would ever get to spring with the way

the winter began in early January? Gone are the short days and cool

nights, and it is so refreshing to look forward to flowers blossoming

and the summer kickoff Memorial Day Parade. The parade

marches near the new Van Aken District and we hope that parade

participants and residents are proud to have Thornton Park as a part

of this exciting new development.

Back by popular demand will be adult pop-up fitness programs. They

were well attended, and residents who instructed these programs

were pleased to make them available. Also in development are new

community engagement pop-up programs. This program is in the

design phase, and we are exploring more ways to make recreation a

quality of life amenity for all residents, including those who typically

do not visit the pool or rink, or participate in recreation programs.

Look for more information on the Recreation Department Facebook

page. If you haven’t liked us yet, please take the opportunity so you

can stay abreast of upcoming programs.

Be Active. Stay Healthy. Have Fun.

Sincerely,

Alex NicholsDirector of Recreation
