During the summer, Roosevelt High School’s pool transforms from a place of hard training and competition into a place of family fun and swim lessons for many local children.

Thompson Rivers Parks and Recreation District is in charge of staffing the pool over the summer, providing lifeguards and swim lesson teachers at the public pool.

Milliken is at the forefront of court innovation since its establishment of the Milliken Community Court in October 2011. The goal of the court is to handle municipal-level offenses, such as truancy, criminal trespass and curfew violations, among others, turning community problems into community solutions that all families and individuals in Milliken can benefit from.

In the less than three years that Milliken’s community court has been in effect, it has documented more than 750 community service hours. The court is located at the Milliken Meeting House building in downtown Milliken, which also houses the police station and social services office. The court operates the first and third Wednesday of each month, with a youth docket on the second and fourth Tuesday of the month. The vast majority of those involved in the program are youngsters.
