ADVOCACY
Kids in Springfield, Oregon, get
to meet Una the Mermaid at a
Willamalane summer camp.
Using Effective Partnerships to Amplify the
Impact of Park and Recreation Offerings
By Kenny Weigandt
A
pass
s park and recreation professionals, keeping kids active and
engaged all summer long is our bread and butter. But when
program costs are a barrier for many families, not every child
has the same chance to take part in the amazing programs that
park and recreation organizations offer. In Springfield, Oregon, Willamalane
Park and Recreation District partnered with a local school district
to give as many children as possible a memorable summer.
Over the past 10 years, Willamalane
has run the 1PASS program,
which has become a family
favorite
for summer activities in
Springfield and neighboring Eugene.
For a flat fee of $50, youth
ages 18 and younger can use a
single
summer's worth of admission to
more than 15 recreation destinations.
Partner destinations include
multiple pools, a trampoline park,
a bowling alley, museums, a golf
course driving range, a climbing
wall, indoor basketball, roller skating,
miniature golf and more.
While the pandemic prevented the
to access an entire
program from running in 2020, participating
partners were thrilled to bring
it back in 2021. An incredible group
of organizations came together, eager
and excited to offer the 1PASS for the
community's youth once again.
As the administrators of the program,
Willamalane has to keep the
fixed price of $50 to make it eco20

nomically viable for the involved
partners. While the 1PASS is an
amazing deal, the price is a barrier
for many families in Springfield,
and not every child can get one.
That's where a partnership with
Springfield Public Schools made
magic happen.
An Ideal Partnership
In the summer of 2021, both Willamalane
and the school district
wanted to offer an active and engaging
summer for as many children
in Springfield as possible. The
school district was eager to give
kids a head start on learning for the
coming school year and was looking
to offer summer educational
programs, as well as outdoor exploration
and physical activity.
