SPRD has offerings for Sisters this summer

Sisters Park & Recreation District (SPRD) has a variety of programs to offer for most ages and all abilities ranging from free to low cost. Executive Director Jennifer Holland reminds the community that it’s not too late to get in on the action.

The Playground Program is a free program staffed by SPRD in partnership with the City of Sisters. The program takes place from 9 a.m. to noon at Village Green Park on Mondays and Wednesdays, and at Cliff Clemens Park on Tuesdays and Thursdays. During these times staff will play games and facilitate fun activities with registered participants. This program will continue through August 26.

The Outlaw Club, a program for Sisters Middle School students, will be hosting two excursions this summer: canoeing on July 28, and a day of climbing on August 18. The cost is $10 per trip and registration closes the Monday prior to each trip date. All trips will meet at the Coffield Center and participants should plan to provide their own lunch.

SPRD is partnering with Oregon Adaptive Sports (OAS) to offer an opportunity to explore and ride various adaptive street and road bikes as part of the OAS community cycling series. With the help of OAS volunteers, participants will be exploring the surrounding Sisters bike paths. This free event is open to all ages and experience levels and will take place in front of the Coffield Center on Friday, July 15, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Adult Ballet Barre and adult Jiujitsu are joining the already popular Zumba and Power Hour fitness offerings. Costs range from $6 to 12 per class and take place at the Coffield Center. More information, including days and times, can be found on the SPRD website. In addition, a new cornhole league will be starting Wednesday, July 20. Cost is $70 for a team of two. There’s still time to register.

If you are a local business looking to share your expertise, SPRD is accepting proposals for fall programs. Call Julia Conrad at 541-549-8542 for more information.
