Park-N-Rec Program Returns On July 13 At Bellemeade Park 

Join the fun this summer at a different Neighborhood Park around Evansville. The Department of Parks and Recreation is bringing back their mobile recreation program called Park-N-Rec. 

Park-N-Rec will take place on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons this summer from 1:00 to 3:00pm. You will also be able to find the program at other community outings this summer. The first day of Park-N-Rec will be Tuesday, July 13th at Bellemeade Park. 

Coming back from a successful fall launch, Assistant Sport Director, McKenzie May said this is a perfect time to bring the program back. She said, “Families are looking for things to do in the community now that things are opening back up from the pandemic. Park-N-Rec was able to do that in the fall, and we plan to do it again this summer at different park locations and areas in the community.” At each Neighborhood Park, there will be activities such as: yard games, dancing, arts and crafts, sport games, and much more.
