Help us Plan for the Future of Parks and Recreation!The City of Maplewood seeks your thoughts on its Parks and Recreation System. The City is mid-way through the process of developing a plan that will guide investments over the next 20 years to parks, recreation facilities, trails, preserves, public art, and cultural and historic resources. The plan will assure that the system will meet community needs now and into the future.

What have we heard so far?• Walking, hiking, and biking trails are the most used amenity (86%)• After trails, neighborhood parks are most important (61%)• Creating a destination park with city-wide amenities is the most important major addition to the system.• Improvements to existing parks, preserves, and trails are a high priority for residents• There is a need to renovate older parks, including replacing older facilities, adding amenities, improving accessibility.

How can you participate?Join us at one of our open houses to provide input on the draft plan and identify priorities.

FALL SWIM REGISTRATION GOING ON NOW!In the land of 10,000 lakes learning how to swim is especially important! Which is why, here at the Maplewood Community Center, we are celebrating 20 years of providing high quality community swim lessons at a fraction of the price of private organizations. Our goal is to teach children that water is not something to be feared, but rather respected. By giving them the skills they need to enjoy water safely and helping them to understand their limits, we’ll teach your children to swim, splash, and play in a safe way.

Our environment is another one of our keys to success. Our fun and interactive zero-depth leisure pool provides the perfect water environment for beginning swimmers. Kept at a comfortable temperature of 86-degrees and with a maximum depth of just four-feet, our versatile leisure pool allows instructors to safely challenge beginning swimmers. Take advantage of our experience today and register for one of our more than 100 class offerings.

I have had so many excellent opportunities to increase my knowledge of the natural
