Park District Happenings and Facility Updates

• The Park District has launched a new online recreation system, RecDesk, designed to be more streamlined and user-friendly. With RecDesk, patrons be able to register for programs and reserve facilities easily from any mobile device or desktop. Please note that returning customers will need to create a new account when using the system for the first time.
• The Twin Peaks Community Center and the Robert Hootman Community Center are undergoing more improvements, such as exterior paint, and more interior cosmetic upgrades. The Twin Peaks Rotary Centennial Park parking lot will be resurfaced this coming fiscal year as well.
• The Park District has taken full management of the Running Springs Community Restrooms, located at 31960 Commercial Way to better help serve the community. The Park District is asking that the restrooms be community priority, especially for the neighboring business owners, and to report any suspicious or unsafe activity to authorities. These restrooms are for the community and will take the entire Running Springs community to take care of them.  
• The Activity Room/Gym in Rimforest directly above the Park District offices is still closed due to an insurance claim from the storm damage back in 2023. To create more recreational space, the Park District has recently completed renovations on the upstairs space above the former physical therapy office located at 26571 State Hwy 18, Rimforest, CA 92378. This in-house project included removing interior walls, deep cleaning, applying a fresh coat of paint, and installing mirrors to transform the space into a functional activity loft. The space is currently being used for the RIMREC Youth Tumbling Program and Altitude Fit Kids.
• The Rim of the World Park Fund has been established with the Inland Empire Community Foundation (IECF) in order to raise awareness and fund special projects to enhance and possibly build more recreational opportunities for the Rim of the World Recreation and Park District community. More information is coming soon.

Districts Make the Difference   

What does that mean?  
Rim of the World Recreation and Park District is an independent special district sanctioned under California Law for the performance of local government functions. Special Districts range in size from very small to very large. The Rim of the World Recreation and Park District is a smaller Independent special district that operates on a budget of $1.162 million (only 2/3 of which is provided by a $22 annual per-parcel property tax, the remainder needing to come from use fees) yet serves a vast area of 110 square miles. What’s so special? Focused services. Special Districts like the Rim of the World Recreation and Park District were formed to deliver specific public services within defined boundaries for communities who want local control.

Responsibility to Provide a Wide Variety of Services
Since the Rim of the World Recreation and Park District is located in a resort area, our services are not limited to just locals and/or permanent residents or part-time residents, but to all who visit the mountain communities. Even those residents who are not located within our boundaries, but who own property in our mountain community can benefit from the use of our services. Unlike other Special Districts, our mandate and the services provided have resulted in a great range of opportunities for public recreation.

Benefits of Special Districts
According to the State Legislative Analyst, independent special districts have consistently shown the slowest rate of spending growth for local governments. We believe this is due to the high degree of accountability to the public and to the specific nature of the services provided by special districts. In the case of the Rim of the World Recreation and Park District, it’s due also to our fixed-rate tax source that does not adjust for inflation but must be supplemented by increasing efficiency and other measures. The Rim of the World Recreation and Park District is considered an independent special district because we are directly accountable to our constituents, not another layer of local government and have an elected board that sets policy.
 

Districts Make the Difference
California special districts are much more than local service providers. These local agencies enable their constituents to have local control and are passionate about providing high-quality services and resources in the most efficient and effective manner. Find out more about the impact special districts are having and how they benefit the millions of Californians who use their services.
