The Department manages 17 Park and Trail sites, the golf course and the Community Center. Some of the changes she mentioned include replacing 4-season buildings with picnic shelters at Sunny Square and Totem Pole and adding pickle ball courts at Totem Pole; adding a picnic shelter and drainage updates at Hansen East; and a new building closer to parking and a ninja warriors battle course at Hansen West; adding parking and improving mobility features at Silver Oaks; and adding a splash pad at Lions’ Park.
Each week June 11 through August 13, one of the parks will host Park Discovery Days with events for all ages. Each program will have special guests, crafts, games and demonstrations.
