But, the great news is that Moscow Parks and Recreation hosts super exciting fun things to do all year round. Check out this new activities brochure to see just what I’m talking about. Director’s Message Dwight L. Curtis, Ph.D. Parks and Recreation Director When I think of hunting mushrooms, I think of spring time. Check out our “fall” mushroom hunting class taking place in October. There’s still time to get in some rafting trips, too! Oh, and don’t forget all the fall sports programs we offer. Fun for everyone. Pickleball has arrived!!! Lines were added to the basketball court located in Mountain View Park. All you have to do is stop by the HIRC and check out the nets, paddles and ball…for free!! Just bring a valid ID to check them out. Our hope is to add more courts as time goes along. We’ll hope to hear feedback from you to help guide our plans. If you hadn’t heard, Moscow began its phasing of development of park properties. Going in this fall is a new playground, pathway and turf for the new park. It’s located at the corner of Blaine Street and Indian Hills Drive. I’d like to take this opportunity to specially thank Mr. Bill Parks of Moscow for his generous donation of $25,000 toward the purchase of the new playground. It’s people like Bill that makes Moscow such a wonderful place to live. Mr. Parks had also previously donated funding toward the purchase of additional land that became part of this same park. The City officially opened a new restroom facility located adjacent to Friendship Square in the downtown Moscow area. With so many people shopping and attending the multitude of downtown events, this facility was desperately needed. We love our volunteers!!! The Moscow Parks and Recreation Department has close to 1,000 volunteers each year to work the youth programs, work on park projects, raise funds for new facilities and park amenities, to also include those serving on the commissions. Come join us; it’s a blast. We’re always in need of donations to help with the Youth Scholarship Fund. As the economy continues to keep families struggling, the program helps in many ways. Kids that participate in our programs are active, they’re learning, they’re healthier and establishing good healthy active lifestyles that will benefit them in the future as well. They’re also having fun! Please donate to this cause. Contact us here at the Parks and Recreation Department for more information, including new program eligibility require ments effective October 1st, at [PHONE REDACTED] or see our website for more information: www.ci.moscow.id.us As always, I would love to hear from you. How are we doing? Please give me a call or email me and let’s see how we can better serve you. I can be reached at 883-7084 or by email at [EMAIL REDACTED]. I look forward to hearing from you. In the meantime, enjoy the wonderful fall! ---PAGE BREAK--- Information 1724 East F Street [PHONE REDACTED] CITY OF MOSCOW PARKS & RECREATION The Moscow Parks & Recreation Department is a citizen-friendly and customer-driven organization established to create and maintain quality parks and to provide recreational and educational services that promote accessibility, quality of life, community involvement and strategic planning for the future needs of the community and its citizens.

The practice of Tai Chi improves posture and balance, increases energy, and integrates the mind and body, bringing a sense of well-being while helping you say healthy and active. The Tai Chi for Health programs were created by Tai Chi Master and medical doctor Paul Lam along with a group of medi cal experts, with a focus on traditional Tai Chi moves and stances that have been adapted to decrease the risk of injuries or falls. Seated adaptations are offered for those who are unable to stand to participate. “Great teachers, great value, kids loved it!” This class is open to all levels of experience. Beginners will initially focus their efforts on learning the forms, while continuing students will work on deepening their understanding of the principles of Tai Chi, improving the quality of their personal Tai Chi, and learning additional forms. Participants should wear loose comfortable clothing and flat, comfortable shoes – no flip-flops. Not sure if Tai Chi is right for you? Come try the first class and find out!

And these are the known cases - thousands more go unreported. And, did you realize that female soccer players are second only to football players in the incidence of concussions? Moscow Mountain Sport & Physical Therapy in association with Moscow Parks and Recreation is offering FREE ImPACT testing for all area athletes 7th grade and older. ImPACT is a research-based computer test developed to help clinicians evaluate an athlete’s recovery following a concussion. In the pre-season, each athlete is given a baseline test. When a concussion is suspected during the season, a follow up test is administered to see if the results have changed from the baseline. The comparison helps physicians diagnose and manage concussions including determining when it is safe to return an athlete to play. Athletes under the age of 19 in particular are at risk for Second Impact (SIS). All sports and athletes welcome. Tests are just 45 minutes in length. We can do individual testing, or arrange for an entire team to be tested. Moscow Mountain Sport and Physical Therapy is located at 904 White Avenue.
