Recreation and Parks Programs

Trauma Sensitive yoga or Yoga Philosophy

I am an RYT (yoga teacher) and would like to teacher a class in Hilliard around yoga philosophy or yoga for trauma.

Seniors don't use school taxes. A pool and small workout room would be a great medical rehab feature for the community.

More of a wish than an idea. I'd like to see a dedicated 55+ pool with free water aerobics, swim lanes & handicap access for srs only.

Playing cards - euchre, hearts, bridge, etc. Board games. Day trips.

I realize there are COVID-19 considerations but many of us are already fully vaccinated and 2 weeks out, so it's possible to do now!

Intro to Disc Golf

A class to introduce the newest golfers about the finer points of disc golf. How to throw, rules, background, and some good old fun being outside in nature.

Public outdoor ice rink

Ice rink similar to Bryant Park's winter village in NYC

Disc Golf Tournament

A tournament would be a perfect way to highlight the new disc golf course.

Racquetball courts would give residents some recreation options throughout the winter and during bad weather.

Racquetball

What about a series of classes designed for to teach basic household or automotive maintenance.

Tango classes for adults

Tango evenings at Hilliard Station

Youth parks and rec explorer group

A program for youths to participate in maintenance, updates, and pride in their parks and rec centers.

A skate park

I recently visited Pickerington’s skate park. It was small but well maintained, fenced, and the structures didn’t look too expensive. They weren’t concrete - but pre-fab metal structures. The park also had a parkour course for smaller kids. I see my kids and other teens skateboarding more and more. Myself and other adults I know enjoy skateboarding as well. It would be wonderful to have a small, inexpensive, but well maintained park and sister parkour course nearby for younger kids.

Free Dance class

Dance class for kids once a week

Opportunities to engage with city employees - waste removal, street cleaners, firefighters, police officers. Kids love these local heroes!

Inclusion Programs for Children, Youth, Adults with Developmental Disabilities

Hilliard is in need of : Create, re-establish and/or enhance existing programs that are inclusive of children and adolescents with I/DD by applying evidence-based, best or emerging practices • Support development of friendships between children and adolescents through integrated and inclusive programs and activities • Hire and train staff to ensure the provision of adequate support for children and adolescents with complex needs (i.e., physical, and behavioral) • Support communities with cultural awareness and sensitivity by enhancing language access and cultural competence within social and recreational programs and activities • Develop and vendor inclusive social and recreational programs that apply person-centered and family- centered practices. Various: Dublin has miracle League and other programs: there’s TopSoccer at other communities, Adaptive Sports bike riding programs in Delaware, etc… Hilliard needs one desperately. There’s a lack of inclusion programs and educational programs being offered in Hilliard for families with members with disabilities.

Engage active older adults, multicultural programming, historical programs, outdoor nature Ed, educate residents on parks and trail system
