DATE: November 25th 2025
SUBJECT: Workplan 2025 Review —Parks and Recreation Commission
On June 18th, 2025, the City Council approved all four Parks and Recreation Work Plan goals
for the 2025 calendar year. The purpose of this memo is to review each goal, summarize
accomplishments, and identify what remains outstanding. Below is a short summary from the
Parks Director. At the next meeting, the Commission will vote on whether to recommend this
report to Council.
Goal 1: Tour Parks & Trails Twice Annually — Partially Achieved
On June 5th, the Commission toured the Kenai Recreation Center and the Multi -Purpose
Facility. While only one tour occurred, selecting specific locations proved helpful and may serve
as a useful approach for administration when organizing future tours.
Goal 2: Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) Work Session Annually — Partially Achieved
In the spring, the Commission held a work session to review the CIP and subsequently voted to
approve it for Council consideration. This goal can be fully achieved next year if maintained as
an annual objective. The primary challenge this year was that the plan was not finalized until
summer; the Commission prefers to review the CIP in the spring, prior to scheduling tours or
related discussions.
Goal 3: Development of Long -Term Goals — Achieved
At the December regular meeting, the next long-term goal was added as a discussion item for
Commission review.
Goal 4: Development of a Unique Work Plan Goal for FY26 — Unknown
Achieving this goal depends on the outcome of the current meeting and on whether a new FY26
work plan goal is established.

DATE: November 10', 2025
SUBJECT: Mid -Month Report — October
The second Saturday in October marked Parks and Recreation's Annual Fall Pumpkin Festival,
held this year on the Kenai Greenstrip. With hundreds of pumpkins given away and more than
1,500 attendees, the Greenstrip was filled with festive activities, families, and fall fun.
The Multi -Purpose Facility (Ice Rink) is now open for the season and will host ice for local teams,
including Kenai Central High School, the Kenai Peninsula Hockey Association, the Kenai River
Queens, and the Nikiski Hockey Association. Several games and tournaments are scheduled for
next month as the season gets underway. (See attached schedule.)
As temperatures drop, attendance at the Recreation Center has steadily increased. After -school
crowds, team practices, and regular groups, such as wallyball, pickleball, and volleyball players,
are keeping the gym busy. The center also hosted a successful Halloween Tot Time, where over
50 little ones dressed in costumes and filled the gym with energy and laughter for an hour of
festive play.
