Hello Friends,

Winter is officially here whether we like it or not. Even though the weather outside can be brutal, we still have some fun things instore for you! Throughout this guide you will find programs that fit your needs whether you would like to be outside or inside this season. Even as the snow flies, the parks in your neighborhood will still be open. For those of you that like to walk and keep active all year round, Harvey Creek and Milestone Park have walking trails that make a fun and relaxing winter walk. Don’t forget to visit the Ice Rink located at Knights Park. We are happy to once again partner with the City of Sandwich to bring back the Ice Rink to our community. The rink is located at Knight Park and is open to the public when weather permits.

For those of you who are the indoor type, don’t worry, we have something for you too. This year we will once again be offering our very popular Indoor Garage Sale. If you’re like me, and like to treasure hunt, then this is the perfect opportunity to come and shop for those special items. We are also happy to announce that we have added some FREE community education programs this year. Check out our Tax Fact course, Firearm Safety, Baby Basics, and Professional Development course. These courses are perfect for the young adult trying to learn more about adulting or maybe the adult who just wants to be more versed in these areas. More details and a list of dates are located inside this guide.

Spring is on the horizon! Throughout this guide you will also find numerous spring programs for the whole family. For those outdoor and nature lovers we will have our annual Spring Garden Workshop this year. This event is a fun day filled with educational course that will help expand your knowledge in the gardening world. This year we will also host our Spring Bird Migration Watch. This program is a fun filled day out exploring nature and getting the opportunity to spot some unique birds. If you have wanted to start bird watching but don’t know how, this is the course for you! We are extremely excited for this upcoming spring and we hope you are too. We can’t wait to spend another great spring with you out in YOUR parks.

Sincerly,

William Novicki, CPRP
