This week, we’re celebrating The Power of Connection, and today we’re highlighting one of the people who helps make those connections happen every day.

Meet Michelle Smith 🧡✨

If you’ve spent any time with our Golden Years Club, you’ve probably seen Michelle cheering someone on, sharing a laugh, or making sure everyone feels welcome. She has a way of bringing people together and creating a place where friendships grow and everyone feels like they belong.

This photo says it all. It’s not just about crossing the finish line. It’s about having someone there to celebrate you every step of the way.

That’s what parks and recreation is all about.

Thank you, Michelle, for the care, encouragement, and connections you bring to our community every day. We’re grateful to have you on our team !

‼️The trail is now open

⚠️ Trail Update at Boundary Waters Park ⚠️

The concrete trail at Boundary Waters is temporarily closed due to a fallen tree. Please use caution and follow all posted signage and caution tape while our Maintenance team works to safely remove the tree.

What a great morning at Fairplay Park! 🏈

Our Flag Football Clinic was full of energy, teamwork, and fun as young athletes built their skills, grew their confidence, and enjoyed a morning of learning the game.

A huge thank you to our incredible staff for making this clinic possible. We appreciate all of your hard work and dedication!
