Nothing beats summer at Recreation Park! The park is full of people playing pickleball, kids running around the playground, people enjoying lunch in the park, and of course, co-ed adult softball returns. What is better than a swim at the Plunge or Hilltop Pool on a hot summer day or enjoying a concert in the park with family and friends? Let 's not forget about the events and delicious fruits that will be available at the Farmer’s Market! The Recreation team has a lot of fun planned and hope you can join us!
