IMPACT DRIVERS
Our commitment to social equity is evident through initiatives such as the Youth Scholarship Program and
Skate-It-Forward,which have directly impacted 341 families and engaged 128 families and 681 individuals,
respectively.The distribution of over 2,150 free ice skate passes to 43 partner organizations emphasizes our
dedication to inclusivity,allowing families from diverse backgrounds to participate in recreational activities.
Additionally,our Violence Prevention Programming reached 7,143 students,contributing to community safety,
and supporting South Bend Alive Grantees further enhances local initiatives.
HEALTH & WELLNESS
Venues Parks&Arts significantly contributes to community health and wellness with over 105,000 fitness
center visits and a diverse range of classes offered.Ice skating at Howard Park Ice Trail&Pond attracted
39,311 participants,and active sports such as softball and basketball engaged 22,044 and 4,126 participants,
respectively. Furthermore,the provision of over 3,000 meals by Real Services addressed nutritional needs,
while the violence prevention programming supported the overall well-being of 7,143 students.
NEIGHBORHOOD & ECONOMIC IMPACT
Our impact on the neighborhood and economy is substantial,with cultural venues like the Morris Performing
Arts Center attracting regional and national world-class performances.Softball participation,totaling 22,044,
and 9,744 East Race rides contribute to community involvement and tourism, respectively. Neighborhood
improvements include the Boehm Pickleball Court installation;basketball court improvements at Boland,
Brownfield, Keller,St.Clair and Voorde Park;tennis court improvements at Boehm,Boland,Coquillard, Keller,
and Voorde Park;and pickleball court improvements at Boehm,Boland, Coquillard,Keller,and Voorde Park.
Having accessible,safe athletic courts in our neighborhood parks is an important part of building strong,lively
communities,and our team is committed to investing in these spaces.
ECOLOGICAL STEWARDSHIP
Staying engaged in ecological stewardship through various initiatives is an integral role of Venues Parks&Arts.
This year,we conducted 384 playground inspections,watered/planted 3,353 trees,and treated/removed
1,041 trees,emphasizing our commitment to green spaces.Additionally,accolades like the Tree City USA and
Growth Awards recognize our dedication to urban forestry,and our Ecological Advisory Committee(EAC)
highlight our emphasis on sustainable practices.The EAC is dedicated to matters concerning the perpetuation
of a healthy ecological system within the parks and public lands of South Bend.This year,they accomplished
this objective by managing sensitive natural zones,removing invasive plant species on our river banks and
Memorial Park,planting native plant species,and recommending changes that will positively impact our
ecosystem.These recommendations resulted in LED light installations at O'Brien Skate Park and Boehm Park.
