Manager’s Message

The Town of Carbondale recently updated their Parks, Recreation & Trails Master Plan which proposes strategies, provides guidance, and offers suggestions for addressing the challenges and op-portunities that the Town faces today and into the future regarding meeting the recreation, leisure, parks and trail needs of the community. One of the main challenges is a shortfall in Town Rec. Sales Tax revenues in being able to provide for improved operations and maintenance of existing parks, recreation and trails. While it is useful to imagine and aspire to seek GOCO and Federal Mineral Lease District grants to build future needed recreation improvements for our citizens, the master plan acknowledges that additional Rec. Sales Tax funds are needed to provide the necessary required local match to seek outside grant funding. Please buy locally as a ½ penny ($.05) tax is dedicated to parks and recreation. Carbondaleisknownforitspremieroutdoorenvironmentallifestyle,definedbyitsstrongranching agricultural heritage, bicycle culture, healthy living opportunities, access to area mountain and river recreation, its diversity and celebration of arts, culture and community events. The results of the Master Plan citizen survey supports and acknowledges that Carbondale’s parks, recreation and trailopportunitiesconnectpeopletotheoutdoors,contributessignificantlytoourhighqualityoflife,encourages new economic development opportunities, and spurs out-of-town tourists to seek out Carbondale as a destination to come, visit and explore. Thanks to all of you who supported the Master Plan effort by taking the time to respond to the online community recreation survey, participate in focus group meetings and public meetings that were the cornerstone of the planning process. Please continue to shop locally and support future funding efforts to improve parks, recreation and trail, operations, maintenance and facility needs.

Jeff Jackel Have you ever had the dream to come upon an old, ornate and bejeweled bottle sticking barely out of the sand (or snow)? Maybe it is just me, but I know what I would do. I would quickly pick it up, slowly look around, and secretly give it a few rubs, just in case fables are perhaps real. I do know that you have thought about what three wishes you would ask for from that mythological genie. When the smoke clears, my decisions would be rapid and surprisingly easy. I would say, “ Number one: health, number two: happiness, number three: prosperity.” The genie having heard this before, goes POOF, the next thing I knew, I am standing in front of the Carbondale RecreationandCommunityCenter,andinmyrighthand,betweenmyindexfingerandthumb,isa membership card, and in the other hand is this very brochure, chock full of summer programs for allages.Healthandfitnessinthepalmofmyhand,check.Happiness,whichhasbeenscientificallyproventobeintricatelytiedtomyfirstwish,check.Iwonderaboutwishnumberthree,prosperity....(where was my pot of gold)? But this does not last long; the genie hits me upside the head and says as the bottle sucks him back inside, “You can’t have wish number 3 without pursuing number 1 and 2. Go use your card and check out the brochure. They will guide you.” The Town of Carbondale is in the process of adopting a resolution to become a Live Well Colorado HEAL coalition designated city. HEAL stands for Healthy Eating-Active Living. The synergy of the Parks & Recreation mission, the “active living” mantra that we preach, has dovetailed with the precepts of Live Well Colorado’s healthy eating initiative, to showcase the numerous oppor-tunities in Carbondale for physical, mental, spiritual and life-long wellness. Your three wishes are attainable. You do not need the fabled smoke and mirrors or the help of some genie. The answers are right in front of you. Go get them. Eric Brendlinger
