We also offer opportunities for a community garden.

The fall continues to push back on Rec Sports. Due to expected rain and storms all morning, Flag Football is cancelled today.

Teams will make up the games next week on an agreed upon weeknight. Coaches will be in touch over the next day or so.

The MyRec system we use is still down nationally. This has caused a major disruption to many parks and rec. Keep in mind, you will not be able to register or reserve a park until it is back up. Luckily our winter registrations have plenty of time remaining to catch up.

The Myrec system we use has been down all day. We are aware of this, but it’s a system issue not specific to us.

We do want to remind all involved with tonight’s BHS Youth night (Tackle Football, Flag Football, Cheer and MS Soccer) that the timeline has been moved up.

Mr Calton will be gathering everyone around 6:10 from the BHS practice field.

Flag football players will receive their shirts from Mrs Reed upon arrival. She will be under the goal post closest to the baseball field starting at 5:45. She will give the entire team set to each individual coach.

Go Chiefs! Beat Raiders!

See you at the Hoffman Pool today! We will gather in Rutan Shelter #4 if it’s raining.

Fred Carter Park is closed until further notice. The Water level is up near the parking lot and the parking lot has suffered multiple wash outs, making it a hazard for vehicles. We will be addressing the parking lot as soon as we can.

Please consider joining us next Thursday as we break ground on the new Hoffman Pool!

What a great summer we've enjoyed at the Harmon Park splash pad!! We're overjoyed to see the usage from our community over the last few months.

But as the late, great John Facenda once said, "The autumn wind is a pirate".........and it will be here before we know it.

With that said, Sunday September 20th will be our last day for the season. The manufacturer will be coming in the following week to make some adjustments and train our staff on the yearly winterization process.

So, 18 more great days to cool down at 908 W. Columbus Ave!
