The past year has been an exciting year for Blaine-Birch Bay Park and Recreation District 2, and we are deeply grateful for the support of our community.
We started 2024 with a 68 percent approval vote to renew our funding, a testament to the strong partnership we share with you. This support has fueled our growth and will allow us to further expand our offerings in remarkable ways.
In 2024, we enhanced our fitness offerings with over 40 hours of classes each week at both the Blaine Pavilion and Birch Bay Activity Center, giving more people the opportunity to stay active. Our summer camps engaged over 400 youth in all-day programming and our after-school enrichment program is exceeding expectations at the Blaine school campus.
Our arts and crafts thrived with offerings like pottery, drawing and wreath-making classes, and we ventured outdoors for low tide photography, hiking and mushroom foraging. These activities provided our community new ways to explore and connect with the beautiful Pacific Northwest.
Our community events were a huge success, including Splash Day, family dances and our first-ever adult prom. These events fostered social interaction and enjoyment within our community.
Additionally, we recently acquired 30 more acres for the California Creek Estuary Park, bringing the total number of acres to approximately 60.
We also began managing the Blaine Pavilion, making it available for our community to reserve this great venue for gatherings, celebrations and special occasions.
Thanks to your support, we have increased our team to ensure the continued growth and success of our programs. We are committed to continue serving you in the years ahead, and we look forward to more opportunities to connect, learn and stay active in 2025.
Thank you for being part of this incredible journey!
