October 2024 – Parks & Recreation - 65

Lagunas and Nick Farline of Kennewick
(Washington) Parks and
Recreation Department
This session is about a young
boy's call to action! Kason Creed
is a 9-year-old boy with cerebral
palsy who is wheelchair bound.
He started a movement, called
Kason's Kause. Kason's Kause is
to provide equal access to playgrounds
for children of all ages
and abilities to play together.
City of Kennewick, Washington,
heard him and developed - in
partnership with Kason and his
family - " Kason's Korner. "
Learn
about
how Kennewick
developed this fully accessible
area in an existing playground
and dedicated the area to Kason,
naming it " Kason's Korner. "
This session is not about a new
million-dollar
playground,
but
about how to retrofit an existing
playground to provide an area
that brings together able-bodied
individuals and children with disabilities.
This was done at a cost,
but not the cost of a brand-new
playground. This session is about
how to listen and how to motivate
elected officials to listen and act.
This is a call to action to get involved
in creating more inclusive
playgrounds in your community.
Everyone Wants to Ref, But
No One Wants to Be a Ref
Speaker: Jillian Franklin, Fredericksburg
(Virginia) Parks and Recreation
Department
It is no secret there is a critical
shortage of youth sports officials.
Game cancellations and
postponements have become part
of the daily routine for sports administrators.
Most want to blame
the officials for games being canceled
or postponed. However, is
it solely the officials' fault? We'll
discuss officials' point of view
with data from the Battlefield
Basketball Officials Association
2023 end-of-season survey and
what it means to be an official.
We will discuss recruiting and
retaining
officials, empowering
your staff to handle difficult situations
on game days, and more
importantly, where youth sports
officials will be in the next three
to five years.
YOU'RE INVITED!
