May is Older Americans Month!

 This year’s theme is “Flip the Script on Aging”.  From crushing stereotypes to embracing adventure, older adults are living proof that aging is anything but boring. Whether it’s starting a new hobby, mentoring the next generation, or running marathons at 70+, older Americans are rewriting what aging looks like!
  County parks are great places for people of all ages to enjoy outdoor activities and connect with nature. They offer a wide range of recreational activities from walking and bike riding to pickleball and tennis. Let’s celebrate aging as a journey full of purpose, passion, and possibility. #FlipTheScript #CelebrateAging #OlderAmericansMonth

Splashpad and Pool Opening

   Preparations are currently being made for the opening of our splash pad and pool! Get ready to make a splash and cool off as we kick off the summer season with some refreshing fun.
   Let the little ones cool off in our splash pad area which will be open from May 1 through September 30th. (Please note that there will be times the splashpad will be closed for maintenance or due to the weather.) 

   The pool, located at Echo Farms Park, will open the weekend of Memorial Day (Saturday, May 24th). Residents can purchase a day or season pass. Day passes are $2/child (17 & under) and $4/adult (18+). Season passes are available for $100/individual or $175/Family. We'll also have group fitness classes beginning in June. (We are currently working on scheduling.) The pool will close for the season on September 29th.

Evening Nature Walk

  Take a sunset stroll through Airlie Gardens with an environmental educator and uncover the hidden wonders of local flora and fauna! This guided, 1-mile hike on uneven terrain offers a chance to observe the plants and wildlife most active in the evening hours. Each walk is shaped by the season—highlighting what’s blooming, calling, or creeping at the time. Don’t forget your sturdy shoes and sense of curiosity! This event is perfect for curious kids and nature-loving grownups alike!
  The Evening Nature Walk will take place Wednesday, May 21st from 7:30-9:00pm.Evening Nature Hike
