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.

Joseph “Jo Jo” - Head <strong>Recreation</strong> Leader<br />

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 />

week. These are some of the reasons I am proud<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 />
