About Us

Sisters Park & Recreation District

The Sisters Park & Recreation District was founded in 1995 as a non-profit organization to provide recreation, sports and enrichment programs for Sisters area youth and families. Many groups in the community came together to create  SOAR (Sisters Organization for Activities & Recreation) including the Sisters School District, Sisters Kiwanis Club, Sisters Rotary Club, Sisters Rodeo Association, AARP and the Parent Teacher Association.

   In 1998 voters approved the formation of the SOAR District, a special park and recreation district, which is partially funded by taxes. The District boundaries are similar to the Sisters School District boundary. SOAR serves Sisters and the outlying areas of about 14,000 residents. The Sisters Park & Recreation District is governed by a board of five elected officials. In 2009 the name of the organization was changed from SOAR to The Sisters Park & Recreation District.

  The Sisters Park & Recreation District Foundation is governed by an appointed Board of Directors. The SPRD Foundation helps to raise funds for the SPRD programs by holding fundraising events, seeking grants and support from the community.

  The mission of The Sisters Park & Recreation District is to provide recreational opportunities designed to benefit the health and wellness of the Sisters community.

  In 2004 the SPRD Foundation raised over 1 million dollars to build the new community center. The 10,000 square foot community center includes a teen center, dance and fitness studio, business office and three classrooms. Outdoor facilities include a playground, two new baseball fields, skate park and disk golf course. The SPRD Coffield Community Center is located within walking distance of the Sisters high school and middle school.

Sisters Park & Recreation District offers a year round schedule of programs for kids and adults. A wide variety of activities are offered including: a drop in teen center, all day child care and after school programs, two preschool programs, summer camps, tutoring, youth and adult sports, outdoor recreation, fitness, cultural and martial arts programs. Over 150 people come to the SPRD Coffield Community Center each day to participate in programs. Each year over 3000 kids participate in the programs.
