Are you feeling it Are things getting just a 

little better in the economy This recession 

has been going on so long that it’s difficult to 

feel whether we’re pulling out of it. 

A time-honored way of dealing with 

the stress of the day, including finances, 

is to take some time out for yourself 

and exercise, socialize, or otherwise 

revitalize. Recreation and leisure take your mind 

off the stresses in life and improve your health.

LARPD has many no-cost or low-cost opportunities for you to 

relax, engage, rejuvenate and recharge your batteries. 

• Do something positive for yourself and take advantage of 

some of the many activities and parks 

outlined in this guide. 

• Take a walk, jog, horseback ride, or 

bike ride in Sycamore Grove Park. 

• Valley Rock Climbing Gym, operated 

by LARPD, gives you the same thrill 

and exercise you may have experienced 

as a kid! 

This summer, Robertson Park will be Sycamore Grove Park 

under construction to convert the two 

lighted soccer fields to artificial turf. When complete, the park will 

be available for more playing time, rain or shine, throughout the 

whole year for our local soccer and field sports groups. This is an 

exciting financial partnership with Livermore’s Fusion Soccer Club 

that will save water and labor for the District’s budget, which has 

been affected by reduced property values and taxes in the past 

few years. 

Enjoy the summer! 

Tim Barry 

General Manager, LARPD
