DESCRIPTION The following report summarizes the programs and
activities conducted by the Recreation Department during the Summer
quarter, June through August.
Adult Sports
Adult Softball Leagues were conducted at the Dublin Sports Grounds
beginning June 27, 1990 and concluding September 11, 1990. The Summer
season was preceded by an extremely successful Spring season, the first
season the City of Dublin has been involved in the sponsorship of adult
softball leagues.
A total of 117210 teams participated in the Summer league in the following
divisions; Coed IICII' Coed IID", Men's C-1, Men's C-2, Men's D-1, Men's D-2,
and Men's D-Open. Leagues were offered Sunday through Friday nights with
game times at 6:45pm, 8:00pm, and 9:15pm. The league fee of $350 (plus a
$10 per player non-resident fee) per team provided a scorekeeper, game
balls, two umpires per game, team statistics, and awards for both first and
second place finishers in each division.
In addition to the aforementioned Summer league, a Summer -Fall Business
League was offered. The Business League differed from the regular league
in that it was designed for business teams and games were played at 5:20pm.
Aquatics
During the third season of operation under the direction of the Dublin
Recreation Department, the season was expanded at the Dublin Swim Center by
opening the facility to the public on Monday, April 16 during Spring Break
and remaining open through the month of September. Recreational swim

T-Th 7:00-8:00pm
Evening Family Swim M,T,TH 7:00-9:00pm
The average daily attendance for Recreation Swimming during the Summer
months of June, July and August was 1119111 with the vast majority of
swimmers attending during the afternoon. Although evening Family Swim was
increased to 11311 evenings per week in response to requests the Department

persons. A wide variety of instructional classes were also offered

Junior Lifeguard/Instructor Aide Training
Total enrollment for instructional programs was 111,116". As in the past,
Youth Swim Lessons were by far the most popular and highly demanded
classes. The opening of additional evening classes during this past Summer
helped to ease the demand, however staff will continue to explore means of
providing additional classes.
The Junior Lifeguard Program which was new for the Dublin Swim Center this
past year, proved to be very successful and popular. The program offered
teens ages 13-15 the opportunity to participate in training and to then be
hired to assist instructors and lifeguards on a volunteer basis during the
Summer. The youths also participated in a Bay Area Junior Lifeguard
Competition and placed fourth in the event.
Additionally, the Recreation Department also sponsored a Competitive Swim
Team once again this Summer. In only it's second season, the Dublin Swim
Team grew from 113211 participants last year to 115211 participants. The City
also hosted the Tri-Valley Swim League Championship Meet on August 4 at the
Dublin Swim Center and attracted a crowd of nearly 112,500t1 to the highly
successful event.
Private pool rentals dropped to only four this past Summer and was mainly
due to lack of availability. As an alternative, a "Birthday Party" program
was established to allow participants to conduct smaller scale celebrations
during regular recreational swim hours. The program proved to be very
popular with 111411 parties scheduled (approximately one per week) during the
course of the Summer.
Attached in Exhibit A is a Registration Analysis for the instructional
classes offered at the Dublin Swim Center.
Leisure Enrichment Classes
During the Summer quarter, there were 1155611 classes offered, of which 11181,
were cancelled. Enrollment in both youth and adult classes remained
consistent with past quarters with a total of 1137911 persons enrolled.
Overall 68% of the classes offered were conducted.
Youth classes were again the highest in demand with 86% of the classes
conducted. Amongst the most popular classes were Tenderfoot Day Camp,
Sing -Along Time and Bumper Bowl. For school age children, Karate and
Tennis were popular.
For adults, Dog Obedience classes continue to be popular as were Basic Life
Support CPR and Golf classes. Three environmental classes were offered
this quarter, Environmental Consumer, Environmental Awareness and
Environmental Home Health. Despite the increased public awareness of the
environment, these classes were not well received.
Attached in Exhibit B is a Registration Analysis for the Leisure Enrichment
Classes.
Plavarounds
The Summer Playground Program ran for eight weeks, from June 25, 1990
through August 17, 1990. The program was held at four sites; Mape Park,

Ramon Recreation and Community Services Department.
Senior Center
June saw the cessation of Adult Education Programs for the Summer, however
line dance continued through July on a fee basis and crafts met all Summer
with volunteer and staff leadership. The Center sponsored it's Second
Annual Senior Resource Faire in June, with 1140" exhibitors displaying their
services to over 1120011 participants. In order to determine the type of
information and referral calls the Center receives, a telephone log was
established. In June, 11319" calls were logged of which 70% were related to
Senior Center programs, 4% were referrals to other agencies, and 5% were
related to the Senior Resource Faire. All other calls were related to
housing, transportation, employment, health, and lunch/brunch reservations.
The average daily attendance for June was 1162" with 144.5 volunteer hours.
In July with a grant from the Tri-Valley Community Fund, the Senior Center
contracted with the Senior Support Program of Valley Community Health
Center, to provide case management on -site at the Center. Services
provided through this program are designed to help seniors remain in their
own homes as long as possible. Services include home services, homemaker
services, and helping make alternative living arrangements. In July, 112611
persons were served and 1114" in August. The Center's Second Birthday was
celebrated with a buffet luncheon by 1192" seniors. The average daily
attendance for July was 115211, with 11160" volunteer hours, and 11347" logged
phone calls.
In August the Center added Monday lunch to the regular luncheon schedule.
Seventy (70) seniors joined in the Second Dog Days of Summer Barbecue in
mid -August and a three day Calligraphy Workshop was conducted. Even though
many of the Center's "regulars" vacationed during the month of August, the
average daily attendance was 115211, with 186.5 volunteer hours, and 11322"
logged phone calls.
Attached in Exhibit C is an Attendance Report for the Senior Center.
Sbecial Events
The City-wide Flea Market was held at the Dublin Sports Grounds on
Saturday, July 21, 1990. The event began at 8:OOam and ended at 2:OOpm.
The Flea Market was a great success; 115611 spaces were sold to vendors and
approximately 11400" shoppers and browsers were in attendance. This is a
very popular event and it has been requested by participants that it be
held more than once per year.
Teens
The program offered to teens this Summer was expanded from last year to
include a Drop -In Center, fewer major excursions, more pool bashes and more
on -site special events. All activities were open to both middle and high
school teens.
The Drop -In Center was located at Dublin High School and was open on
Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons from 3:00-5:OOpm and Monday through
Thursday evenings from 6:30-9:30pm. The Center was stocked with ping-pong,
table and video games, snack machines, and a television/VCR. The Summer
Youth Employment Program operated out of the Center as well. Average daily
attendance at the Drop -In Center was 114" in the afternoons and 113" in the
evenings.

"Pool Bashes" were held every other Friday, beginning on June 8, 1990.

recreational swim. Participants were also able to register for other teen
program activities at each pool bash.
Four major excursions were offered, including trips to Great America,
Raging Waters, Santa Cruz and the Exploratorium in San Francisco.
Unfortunately, due to low enrollment, these excursions were cancelled.
Other small-scale excursions utilizing public transportation, such as
