This year, Town of Superior will once again celebrate being a Tree City USA community, a city or town that celebrates the importance of an urban tree canopy. Check out the Town event webpage the week of the event to see how you too can celebrate this year! (Pictured: 2019 Creative Contest entry by Tricia Haugeto)
We are looking forward to welcoming you back to the pools again this summer. The Town will once again be utilizing the digital pool membership card for resident access at both North and South Pool. Any residents who signed up for a card(s) last summer will not need to sign up again. All household card(s) will automatically be renewed for the summer of 2021. If you are a new resident or did not get digital pool cards last summer, please visit www.superiorrec.com in late April to find directions for obtaining your digital pool membership card for seasonal access at both North and South pool.

Local competetive swim club, Elevation Athletics, will be hosting a Spring Splash for all Rock Creek Flyer Swimmers April 5 - May 16, 2021 at the North Pool. Practices will be from 5:45 - 7:15 p.m. Monday through Friday. The total cost for these 6 weeks is $300 and the kids can come to as many practices each week as they would like.

 Nest boxes for small raptors have been installed in several locations in Superior. These are designed to improve breeding success for two species in particular: the American Kestrel, which is our smallest falcon, and the Eastern Screech-Owl, a nocturnal predator that’s barely bigger than a person’s hand. Both of these birds of prey begin courting and establishing territories in late winter and are already concentrating their activity around the nest boxes. Please give these pint-sized predators a little privacy as they pair up and begin raising their families - view them from nearby paved sidewalks rather than approaching the boxes.
