Finally, there’s some good news on the virus front! The decline in cases and hospitalizations, along with the steady increase in vaccinations, is giving us real hope of returning to our full menu of sports and recreation programming. My hope is that we’ll be back into the gym sometime this summer. But as we have all learned, nothing about this virus is predictable. Still, all of us at BORP can’t help being excited at the prospect of returning to play!

We’re also excited about several activities that we’re adding to our spring schedule. Our new kayaking program at Aquatic Park will be launched in April. We’re adding several new outdoor and online fitness classes, and BORP’s new birding program is already up and running.

So, even though we’ll have to live with the restrictions of the pandemic for some time longer, BORP still has a lot to offer. We hope you’ll join us!
