Recreation programming is a balancing act—keeping up with trends without investing too heavily in the trendy, finding new energy for long-term programs, standing out without spending a fortune, etc.
Apex Park and Recreation District (PRD), located in the northwest Denver suburb of Arvada, Colo., has served its community since 1956, so the district has had plenty of opportunities to meet various programming challenges.
A glance at the district’s 1975 activity guide, in comparison with the current guide, attests to the staying power of popular seasonal programs, including track and field, junior golf, and summer camps.
