Meet our Director...<br />
The days are longer, the sun is brighter, and our<br />
parks and Community Center are alive with the<br />
sounds of children and adults alike gathering for<br />
fun and games – summer is here! Our summer<br />
programming is the perfect example of how <strong>Palm</strong> <strong>Coast</strong><br />
<strong>Parks</strong> & <strong>Recreation</strong> strives to bring quality events and<br />
activities for all ages to enjoy. This is made possible by our<br />
amazing staff, led by <strong>Parks</strong> & <strong>Recreation</strong> Director Lauren Johnston.<br />
If you have attended any <strong>Parks</strong> & <strong>Recreation</strong><br />
event, there is a good chance that you have seen<br />
Lauren in the trenches, getting things done.<br />
Always one to lead from within, she has worked<br />
her way up the ranks of the department,<br />
starting as a summer camp counselor in 2007.<br />
“I was very humbled when Mr. Morton announced<br />
the promotion in front of our top leadership and my closest friends,” said<br />
Lauren. “I feel honored to serve our City and residents alongside my<br />
colleagues who have watched me grow through the years from counselor<br />
to now Director. We have a strong team in place and I am looking forward<br />
to continuing to move the department in a positive direction.”<br />
Lauren’s passion for the community is rooted in<br />
her formative years. A graduate of Matanzas<br />
High School, she has been a resident of Flagler<br />
County since 2005. “I found not only my career<br />
but my life in <strong>Palm</strong> <strong>Coast</strong>. I fell in love and had<br />
my son here. Like me, my son is now a <strong>Parks</strong> & Rec<br />
kid! He loves the toddler programs like Monday<br />
Funday and Munchkin Football. His favorite special<br />
event is Egg’stravaganza.”<br />
Never one to rest on her laurels, Lauren is pursuing her Bachelor of<br />
Science degree in Public Administration from Flagler College and looking<br />
forward to graduating in the fall of <strong>2020</strong>. Her dedication and energy are<br />
an inspiration to our team. With our purpose refreshed and direction clear,<br />
your <strong>Parks</strong> & <strong>Recreation</strong> staff look forward to showing our City that the<br />
best is yet to come.

Adult Basketball is my personal favorite activity<br />
mainly because I am a basketball junkie myself!<br />
This program, and those like it, are beneficial to<br />
the community because they offer adults the<br />
opportunity to be active in a fun way. To some it<br />
may offer an activity outside of their daily norm<br />
to which they can look forward to during the<br />

Pool Safety Tips<br />
from your Aquatics Supervisor Ally<br />
1. Pay Attention - Parents should avoid distractions like cellphones when<br />
supervising children around water.<br />
2. Sun Protection - Sun protection is a must. Use sunscreen with an SPF of<br />
at least 15 and reapply often.<br />
3. Touch Supervision - The American Association of Pediatrics<br />
recommends staying within arm’s length of your child. Get in the water<br />
with your toddler. If you need to get out, take your child with you, even if<br />
lifeguards are present.<br />
Heat Safety Tips<br />
from your <strong>Palm</strong> <strong>Coast</strong> Firefighters<br />
1. Stay hydrated – drink plenty of cool water and/or sports drinks to<br />
replenish fluids and electrolytes lost through sweating and help regulate<br />
your core temperature.<br />
2. Wear the right clothing – wear loose-fitting clothing in light colors<br />
and breathable fabrics and always make sure to protect your eyes with<br />
sunglasses or a hat.<br />
3. Everyone out of the car – temperatures inside a parked car can rapidly<br />
rise, creating dangerous conditions for children, pets, and adults. No matter<br />
how briefly you may be parked, no one should ever be left in a car.<br />
4. Enjoy playing in the water – water conducts heat away from the body,<br />
so play away in the pool!<br />
