If you’ve already Flipped For It! and read this issue of the Tam-A-Gram, you probably noticed the many QR (Quick Response) Codes sprinkled through-out the magazine (story: Tam-A-Gram, page 1) —you’ll be-gin to notice these codes more and more through-out the City (not to mention in magazines, newspapers, advertisements, and more...) in the coming months as we begin to display them at many of our parks and facilities. QR Codes allow us to share up-to-date and more de-tailed information than what is practical to display on our typical signage. These codes will not replace exist-ing signage at our facilities, they will act as an extension to supplement the information displayed. If you don’t have a QR Code Reader, there are many available for various smart phones and “feature phones”; simply search your cell phone manufacturer’s “applica-tion store” — most are FREE! Once you get the hang of this technology and begin using it you’ll quickly realize the benefits of scanning codes on the go! They’re fast, fun, and free! The code above links to the City of Tamarac’s Parks and Recreation Departments Facebook page. Scan the code, or go directly to: www.facebook.com/TamaracParks.

HERITAGE.. It Starts in Parks! One step brings you back in time to the days of Spanish exploration and the Semi-nole Indians. Tour a reconstructed Seminole chickee, or a fort that has seen two wars and still stands today. Wheth-er we were born and raised on the Florida peninsula, or just moved in yesterday, our rich heritage shapes who we are as Floridians and make us proud to call Florida our home. Finding our shared heritage…

Come enjoy Tamarac’s new skate park located at the Sports Com-plex (9901 NW 77th Street). The park is open Tuesday – Sunday, (closed on Mondays). All skate park participants must complete a waiver of liability and consent agreement prior to using the Skate Park. Users under age 18 must have the waiver and con-sent signed by a parent/legal guardian. Parents/legal guardians will be required to present picture identification. Upon com-pletion of the registration process the participant will receive a Skate Park Decal which is valid for the current calendar year. The decal will be required to be displayed on the participant’s helmet and worn at all times. Registration for the Skate Park is located at the Tamarac Community Center, 8601 W. Commercial Blvd. or Tamarac Recreation Center, 7501 N. University Drive.
