LOOK what’s NEW!The Escondido Community Services Department is excited to unveil the newly created and adopted Mission, Vision, and Values statements along with a new LOGO. These powerful statements are the roadmap that will guide the Community Services Department through the future in promoting an Energized Escondido.

MISSIONPromoting Escondido as the City of Choice by providing healthy, innovative, and educational opportunities to unify our community.

Energize Escondido!

VISIONDedicated to being the essential resource for an active, safe, and successful community, the Community Services team provides:

• Innovative programs that promote health and well-being

• Positive community partnerships and connections

• Opportunities to explore individual interests and

• Life-long learning and personal developmentResulting in an Energized Escondido!

VALUESWith pride, the Community Services team upholds our civic responsibility in carrying out the goals and objectives of the Mission statement through:

E mbracingN eighborhoods;E ncouragingR esponsibility; andG uidingI magination to promote aZ eal for an...E nergized Escondido!

Come visit our recently renovated Grape Day Park play structure!

The Community Services team has been very busy making positive changes to many programs, services, and facilities this year.

The changes to our facilities and programs is driven by staff’s desire to provide the Escondido community with high quality programs and services. To refl ect this goal the Community Services staff started working on our Mission, Vision, and Values statements in the summer of 2015. This process involved all staff input and the Community Services Commission. The new statements can be viewed on the opposite page of this Newsletter.

The next step was to design and brand a new logo. The CSD Supervisors selected a group of design concepts from those suggested by the staff, and our Graphic Artist, Nicholas Ivins, developed the design and colors. The goal is to take the logo and brand colors and use them in our graphics as portrayed on the front page and throughout this Recreation Guide as well as to use them in the CSD facilities. We are very proud of the Mission, Vision, and Values statements as they guide and inspire us when planning our programs and services while the new logo and brand colors provide all of us with the visual connection of the Community Services Department to you, our community!

Revitalizing and improving our facilities and park amenities has also been taking place with the assistance of other City departments. The Park Avenue Community Center boasts a new front entrance and entry overhang, new landscaping, and new signage. This amazing change is just one example of the many projects that have been completed in the last several months—and we are not fi nished. The Hockey Arena fl oors at the Escondido Sports Center are also being replaced. One is completed and the second will be fi nished come January. This last feat was accomplished with the assistance of community volunteers—thank you! Staff are excited that the community will have additional opportunities to enjoy a variety of programs during the day at the Hockey Arenas as a result of the new fl oors.

Speaking of high quality programs, be sure to check out the exciting line up of new classes such as Amazing Athletes, Tiny Tykes, Junior Storybook Musical Theatre, and Baton Twirling for the younger kids; History Happenings, Ultimate Skill Builder for youth; and Improve Your Memory, Make More Time, and Modern Home Movie for Adults. Remember, the Library is the place you want to visit when you begin your New Year’s resolutions! There will be programs and resources as seen on page 26 to help you be successful.
