July EmbracesOur laughter tickles with careFun For All Returns

It’s true, I couldn’t resist another Haiku and… We’re back. Before long you will see blue-shirted Recreation staff flitting about the park, enticing all comers into random acts of fun. Our theme this summer is Survi-vor, invoking the sense that we are all in this together and as challenges emerge before us, if we cultivate a spirit of adventure and work together, every experi-ence becomes an opportunity to connect with one another, grow personally, care about our communities and thrive. Even as we are unable to offer programming at University, Sladden and Washington Parks, this year, we anticipate a summer filled with excitement. If your family frequented one of these parks, please come find us at one of the parks we will be in. With that said, lend your laughter to the chorus, donate a digit to the tickle, or even sneak a smile into the picture. However you are able to contribute to the fun, come be a part of Fun For All.
