Recreation Department Report

Recent programs
We ran two successful outdoor movies at Barnhardt Park. July 24th and August 14th. Both were wellattended and safe.
We ran two "Parties in the Park" at Horan's Landing. July 29th and August 5th. Just like the movies, we
had a good crowd, but everybody was safe and practiced social distancing. We might have another
concert scheduled in September.
We ran the following programs for the kids:
An arts &amp; crafts mini-camp outdoors at Barnhardt Park. We had 15 kids registered.
Youth soccer clinics at Kingsland Point Park ran until August 14th
A "Ninja Warrior" training program ran for a week at Barnhardt Park as well as an outdoor laser tag
program. Both program filled up.
Our full time staff ran supervised programs each Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons under the
pavilion at Barnhardt. We had double-digit numbers of attendance each day.
SUP Yoga classes at Horan's Landing resumed. Classes are well attended.
The Lighthouse photo contest winner was Christina Ferrara and her picture was posted on our Facebook
page.
Senior Citizens:
--Senior Citizen lunch delivery of sandwiches will be held tomorrow, Wednesday, August 26th. Seniors will
be able to pick up box lunches either at Barnhardt Park or we will deliver to those that are unable to come
out.
--walking group has resumed on Fridays at 8:30am.
-Outdoor exercise classes are held at Kingsland Monday and Wednesday mornings.
No trips, indoor classes or meetings this summer. Lunch meals delivery program has never stopped and
is still going on. We also can still help seniors with grocery shopping during the week.
The future of the after school program
As of today, we are planning on running the after school program as long as the school district runs the
hybrid schedule as planned. My staff and I have worked very hard to make many changes and set up

�protocols to ensure safety. We have been in constant contact with the school district over the past month
and have been involved with some of their discussion regarding re-opening. All our suggested rules,
regulations and protocols have been sent to our legal advisors for reviews and recommendations. There
are too many details to be discussed now, however as you know, I have sent our plans to each of you so
you are kept in the loop. We completely understand that running a program like this will be difficult and
we might have to close down as we did in March if necessary. However there is a need for rec activities
and child care for students with all the new schedules, so we are trying to run a safe and responsible
program if possible. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to let me know.
Parks Items:
Our parks are all open and most every amenity is available. We still have our bathrooms closed, however
we have portable bathrooms in each park. Our basketball courts also are still closed because basketball
is considered a high-risk sport still here in NY State and it would be impossible to safely monitor them.
We currently still are not renting any of the pavilions in the park for parties.
The kayak rack is completely full. All spaces were rented this summer.
The dog park is re-open after it was closed for some time due to the tree damage from the August storm.
Summer youth baseball was played at Devries. A fall season for the kids is possible. We currently are still
not allowing adult groups to use the fields for softball games.
Other park items:
-The Devries Park pavilion has been painted. Thanks to our own DPW staff for completing that.
- Playground Medic has been contracted to repair the rubberized surface at the Barnhardt playground
and spray park.
-Progress is being made with a new propane company to connect a tank to the heating units at the
platform tennis courts. We plan on having heat by the winter.
-We have five private organizations that are using our parks for classes or activities {exercise, dance,
etc). We have been able to rent some time/space at the park for these groups and they have been very
thankful. We might have some more groups join us next month.
--Involved in park improvement projects at Barnhardt and Devries.
Since we are discouraging people from coming to the rec offices at this time, residents should
create their own Community Pass account so they can register for rec programs on-line. This is
done by going to the general registration page, htt(js://ree:ister.communitypass.net and then
type in the name of our organization which is Village of Sleepy Hollow, NY. Once your account
is created, you will receive an e-mail that contains your log in information. If you have any
questions, call the recreation department at 366-5109.
