Kilee joined the Astoria Parks & Recreation Department in March 2025 and has quickly become an invaluable member of our recreation team. She played a key role in bringing fitness classes back to our community and has made a lasting impact through her enthusiasm, professionalism, and dedication.

Participants consistently describe Kilee's classes as fun, energetic, and welcoming. She creates an environment where everyone feels encouraged to stay active, challenge themselves, and enjoy the experience. Her passion for fitness and commitment to serving our community have made her an outstanding addition to the department.

If you haven't had the opportunity to take one of Kilee's fitness classes, you're missing out! Thank you, Kilee, for everything you do for Astoria Parks & Recreation and the community we serve.

Orrick Evans, a member of the Astoria High School Class of 2027, chose to complete his senior project with the Astoria Parks & Recreation Department by organizing a fantastic summer pickleball tournament at Lindstrom Park.

From start to finish, Orrick demonstrated outstanding leadership, organization, and enthusiasm. He coordinated tournament operations, welcomed participants with a positive attitude, and helped create a fun and memorable experience for everyone involved. In preparation for the event, Orrick secured generous prize donations from local businesses, designed promotional flyers, and worked hard to spread the word throughout our community.
