Jackie Turner talked about how the aquatics projects (now called Splash and Play) fit into the overall Parks and Recreation plans and the equitable investment goals. They have just started doing community engagement, going to festivals, neighborhoods and
many events. They will share what they learn with the technical team and come back in another round of engagement to talk about more concrete proposals. For a city the size of Durham, we have few aquatic facilities, and they are old. Three sites for aquatics
projects were identified in the master plan: Long Meadow Park, Wheels Fun Park, and East End Park. Much of Long Meadow Park structure is in the flood-plain. Aquatic facilities can be indoor or outdoor, regional or neighborhood, spraygrounds or more elaborate.
The demographics around the potential sites are shifting; they want to make sure the demographics of the people engaged in discussing needs matches the demographics of stakeholders. Furthermore, they want to be looking at the interests of different age groups.
They will be asking about what people will use, how things should look, and so on. If you have information to share or want to host an activity, Ms. Turners contact information is:

of Durham to do the safe routes to school, using money from a grant from NC DOT. The program started as a volunteer effort, and then got the funding. They do bike and walk to school events and bike safety classes at elementary schools. In 2021, they had
13 schools and about 5000 kids (some in costume) in the events. Three schools did the classes in 2021; Bike Durham brings a kit of bikes, helmets, vests, and cones in order to give kids practice at riding safely, show the social aspects of biking, and teach
a little bike maintenance. They have events where kids get bikes and gear. More information is at
