MISSION STATEMENT We provide parks, recreation and cultural arts spaces, places and programs that make Kettering a premier community to call home. VISION STATEMENT We strive to enhance the quality of life for all residents and to distinguish Kettering as the community of choice. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM The City of Kettering is committed to providing recreational opportunities to all Kettering area residents without regard to economic circumstances. For this reason, a financial assistance program is available for qualifying families or individuals through funds provided from the Kettering Parks Foundation. Applications for 2019 are available online and at all Kettering Parks, Recreation and Cultural Arts Department facilities. Applications are funded on a first-come, first-served basis, based upon eligibility. Funding decisions are typically awarded in April. More information on the Parks Foundation can be found on the website at: www.ketteringparksfoundation.org. CODE OF CONDUCT Upon entering a City of Kettering recreation facility and/or grounds, you are a participant of the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Arts Department’s program and, therefore, required to abide by the rules of the department. Your cooperation and consideration of these rules will help ensure all participants’ enjoyment of our programs. For Code of Conduct details, visit playkettering.org.
