Whether your daughter is picking up a glove for the first time or returning for another season, Fall Youth Girls Softball is a great opportunity to learn, grow, and have fun.

Players will develop fundamental skills, build confidence, make lasting friendships, and experience the excitement of being part of a team. Our league focuses on creating a positive environment where every player can learn and succeed.

Divisions Available:
• 6U
• 8U
• 10U
• 12U

Registration is open now through July 24.

Our Summer of Movies has turned into a Summer of Rain, and unfortunately we have to postpone tonight's showing of Black Panther at Town Square Park.

With continued rain and water affecting the park, and much of the city, we want to make sure everyone stays safe and dry.

We'll announce a new date soon so we can gather under clearer skies for an unforgettable night in Wakanda.

Until then, grab some popcorn, build a cozy blanket fort, and enjoy a movie night at home with your family. Stay dry, stay safe, and keep an eye out for our rescheduled date!

Due to quickly rising river levels and the expected river crest late tonight or early tomorrow, Chain Park is closed until further notice. Additional rainfall is expected throughout the day and tomorrow causing continued threats for flooding.

Barricades are being staged. Do not attempt to drive into or enter the park for any reason.

Do not go around barricades. These closures are in place for your safety.

We appreciate your cooperation as we continue to monitor conditions. Additional updates will be shared as they become available.

Well, we planned for a spud-tacular day instead we are screaming rain, rain go away!

Don’t worry - join us next Saturday at the Commons for STEM Saturday directly after Saturday Yoga!

We promise to make it a great morning!
