Summer will soon be here and that generally means that the Sheridan Recreation District ramps up fun outdoor activities for the community. However, before I share a few thoughts regarding the future, I wish to comment on the past. Specifically, I want to acknowledge the Recreation District’s former director, Seth Ulvestad. Seth did a tremendous job while at the District and his dedication to the community, his professionalism on the job, and his positive attitude will be missed. That being said, let’s get back to summer. There are two major activities which are added to my duties. The first is the outdoor pool at Kendrick Park, or more specifically the water treatment and mechanical operations of the pool. The mechanical operations are no small consideration as the facility is quite old; it is kind of like having that old 1970’s vintage automobile, there is always something which needs to be fixed and mysteriously died a wintry death. Then there is a whole lot of T.L.C. throughout the summer to keep everything working properly. However, that being said, the pool is a mainstay of summer fun for children and family alike, which make the operation worthwhile. Plus, the Red Cross swim lessons offered at the pool have resulted in thousands of children learning to swim! Also, I am fairly confident there is no other outdoor municipal pool where you can also observe buffalo while swooshing down the water slide! The second is the Kendrick Park Ice Cream Stand. Again, the stand is a mainstay during the summer and is a happening spot all season long. Boasting 32 flavors of hard ice cream along with floats, shakes, and Legerski hot dogs it is a busy place. Selling over 2,200 gallons of ice cream last year and employing 18 hard working folks; it’s another unique gem within the community. My hope is that you have the opportunity this summer to come down to Kendrick Park and enjoy a beautiful place in a terrific part of the world! Rich Bridger Business Manager As we approach another summer in Sheridan, we get to do all of our favorite activities like swimming at Kendrick Pool, grabbing our favorite ice cream cone flavor at the stand and hiking, biking, and camping in the Bighorn Mountains. Do not forget one of the best times in the summer is going to get your popcorn, hot dog, or seeds while watching all the softball and baseball games that happen at The Sheridan Softball Complex at Sheridan College and at John Oatts Memorial Fields off of 6th street. There are numerous adult slow pitch, youth fast pitch, and youth baseball games every night of the week, as well as adult and youth tournaments throughout the summer, so there is no shortage of softball and baseball to watch. So go enjoy watching or playing in some of our leagues this summer. Have a great spring/summer and we will see you at the fields. Zach Stewart Recreation Program Supervisor Spring and summer time is my favorite part of the Recreation District schedule. While a very busy part of the year, spring / summer gives us all the chance to be back outside and in the sunshine. We look forward to filling that outside time with as many activities as possible. We get started early with our youth lacrosse program. Lacrosse has been an exciting program to watch grow. I encourage everyone in the community to stop by Dan Madia field this spring and check out how hard the kids and volunteer coaches have been working. Another exciting location to check out in the summer is John Oatts Memorial Fields. On any summer night you can find hundreds of kids and family busy around the baseball diamonds. We continue to provide our large Webb Wright baseball program and continue to grow our youth fast pitch softball program both with a great community of people that coach and teach kids the game. Its going to be a busy summer but we are excited for it. We’ll see you at the ball field. JD Williams Recreation Program Supervisor Even though it might not seem like it yet, spring and summer are almost here! Make sure to mark your calendars, so you don’t miss any of our exciting programs coming up. Registration is now open for our spring sports and SCSD#2 Spring Break programs, including cross-country, lacrosse, baseball/softball clinics, tennis lessons, and ski trips. Don’t forget to sign up for these fun programs and sports to end the school year! This summer, we are partnering again with Bighorn Mountain Guides for our outdoor recreation programs. These programs will give youth the opportunity to go rock climbing, learn outdoor survival skills, and even some science education. The Kendrick Park Pool will open to the public on June 3rd to offer another fun season of swim lessons, open swim, and pool parties.
