DEPARTMENT OF PARKS, RECREATION AND COMMUNITY RESOURCES
RECREATION DIVISION
COUNTYWIDE PROGRAMS
PROGRAM MISSION: To
create a vibrant and enjoyable community by providing high quality recreation
services for all.
The Countywide Programs delivers
specialized recreation programs in community arts and wellness, and provides
the management of the Thomas Jefferson Community Center and the Barcroft Sports
and Fitness Center. The goals of the
community arts and wellness programs are to increase healthy lifestyle choices,
develop prevention programming strategies, and introduce new trends and
interests in the field of recreation.
Programs are developed in collaboration with the Recreation Service
Areas, Community Services, and other County agencies. The goal of the Thomas Jefferson Community Center is to provide a
broad range of general recreation programming for all ages with a specialized
focus in studio arts and fitness programming.
The Barcroft Sports and Fitness Center specializes in fitness and sport
programming, gymnastics and youth boxing.
This unit has a specific asset-building focus in the areas of fitness,
wellness and creative activities for youth and offers staff training and
centralized resources including the Arts Equipment Lending and Hearts N' Parks
WELL programs that serve youth in afterschool and summer programs.
Also included in the Countywide
Programs is the Health Smart Program, whose goal is to reduce controllable risk
factors in County employees that can result in disease, injury and illness, and
to improve overall health and productivity, and reduce absenteeism and health
care costs of employees. This
prevention program specifically addresses personal health practices such as
diet, exercise, tobacco use and stress management. It provides the following types of services to accomplish these
goals: health screenings, self-help
activities, educational programs, and information distribution.

Lifegain Health Culture audit is conducted every two to
three years. The Audit is slated for
Fall of 2004. This is the reason for
the lack of percentages in the areas regarding the Audit questions for FY 2002
and 2003. Questionnaires conducted
through the Health Smart program offerings provide information about improved
health due to participation in Health Smart classes.
