Sun Valley Recreation – You Asked, We Listened
Based on customer’s requests for expanded recreational programs, the District is pleased to report that this past summer we held two movies in the park events. The first, Dive into Summer, was held on June 7th and included expanded pool hours, a BBQ provided by Cal Ripkin, bounce houses courtesy of the Boys & Girls Club, and a showing of Madagascar 3 as the sun went down. The second, Summer Blowout Party, was held on August 9th and also included expanded pool hours and pool party followed by the movie Oz: The Great and Powerful at dark. At the request of pool patrons, the District increased swim lesson programs, extended summer hours, provided additional opportunities for adult swim, and held a free swim day sponsored by the Fink Family. At the Neighborhood Center, in addition to the Washoe County Senior Services Program, the District now offers a variety of Zumba fitness and martial arts classes. In the parks, several leagues and recreational programs such as soccer, baseball and BMX are held regularly. The District would appreciate your feedback of any ideas and suggestions for future activities and events. For more information and to provide your input, please inquire at the District office at 5000 Sun Valley Blvd., or visit the website at www.svgid.com.

Prepare For Winter/ Preventing Frozen Pipes
Taking the time to take some preventative maintenance can save a lot of trouble during the winter months when temperatures drop. Many homes in Sun Valley are not built on a foundation and are more susceptible to frozen pipes. The water pipes under your home and the exposed supply line should be wrapped with heat tapes. It is important not only to make sure the heat tapes are working before the cold weather sets in, but also check them frequently during the cold months – as they can burn out. It is also important to check that there are no openings in the skirting, allowing the frigid air to get in.
Sun Valley Pool Lifeguards
We wish to thank the Sun Valley Pool lifeguards for their hard work and dedication at the pool this past season. They made the Sun Valley Pool a fun and safe place to recreate and we look forward to their return next summer.
