🚨A section of Winslow Trail, a walking and biking trail which runs from Holiday Drive to Eisenhower Road and connects the Woodland Hills and Fairway Estates subdivisions in Lansing, is currently closed.🚨

Circle H Development has begun work on Phase II of the Monroe Manor Subdivision. To construct Ledbetter Lane, Winslow Trail has been closed in the area shown on their provided graphic. We anticipate this work to continue into spring. Once the contractor has completed this phase of construction the trail will reopen. A raised, speed-table-style crosswalk will be installed onto Leadbetter Lane where the newly constructed road and trail intersect.

The city asks trail users not to trespass into the active construction zone and to obey all posted barricades and signs.

UPDATE: COACHES SECURED!

SERIOUSLY FOLKS... We are looking at having to delay the start of the season!

🚨⚽ URGENT: SOCCER COACHES NEEDED! ⚽🚨

Over the weekend, we unexpectedly had a volunteer coach withdraw from the Fall Soccer season due to unforeseen medical circumstances, leaving TWO teams in need of a coach.

We are currently looking for:

⚽ ONE Coach — 3rd & 4th Grade Soccer
⚽ ONE Coach — 5th & 6th Grade Soccer

These teams already have kids registered and ready to play — we just need the adults willing to step up and lead them!

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A SOCCER EXPERT!

You don't need extensive coaching experience. You simply need to be willing to work with the players, learn the game, and provide a positive experience for our young athletes.

🏆 Parents, grandparents, family members, and community members are welcome to volunteer!

⏰ We need to identify replacement coaches as soon as possible, as coach information and equipment pickup begin Wednesday, August 19. Without a replacement, we may have to delay the start of the season for these age groups.

COACH REQUIREMENTS:

• Must be 18 years of age or older
• Must pass a background check
• Must sign the Coaches' Code of Ethics
