The APRC 2022 Summer Community PlayGuide is now available online and registration is OPEN! APRC is
excited to provide recreational and educational programming for the citizens of Ashland! This guide will offer programming through August 2022.
Parks & Rec Happenings:
RECREATION - The Daniel Meyer Memorial Pool will open for the season in mid to early June 2022! Our seasonal pool will offer recreational opportunities for the community and most importantly, teach kids how to swim! Swimming provides many health benefits and is a crucial life-saving skill. Offerings include:
The pool is located in Hunter Park at 1705 Homes Ave. Learn more at ashland.or.us/Swim.
We are pleased to resume our annual events this spring and summer. Check out whats on the horizon:
We cant pull off our annual events without the help of volunteers! We are seeking volunteers for Bike Swap, Rogue Valley Bird Day, and Ashland World Music Festival. For more info about dates and shifts, please reach out to Volunteer Coordinator, Sulaiman Shelton at 541.552.2264 or sulaiman.shelton@ashland.or.us.

SENIOR SERVICES - Our Senior Services Division enhances the lives of seniors by promoting healthy aging, well-being, dignity and independence. We empower older adults as valued, contributing members of the community and together advocate for the diverse needs of seniors and their families throughout Ashland. Info at AshlandSeniorServices.org or 541.488.5342.
VOLUNTEER - Volunteers are needed to help eradicate damaging, invasive plants from our park land. You can make a difference in restoring our parks and protecting our native plants and animals by lending a hand.
