With 2020 in the rearview mirror and warmer weather coming our way, we’re all ready for new spring adventures to begin! Our Parks and Recreation staff are working hard to provide fun activities for you and your family throughout the year. Over the next few months you’ll have various adventures to choose from, such as the Steam-N-Wheels Bike Race, Spring Break Camp, and our Easter Egg Hunt. For those ready to splash into the warmer weather, the aquatics division will be opening our 5 splash pads (Nelson, Redbud, Scarborough, Sears, and Stevenson) in early Spring. And to begin the slide into summer Adventure Cove, our fun in the sun aquatic center, will open Memorial Day weekend. Hope you’re ready to discover your next adventure this Spring - so many things to do and adventures to take!
Sincerly,
