MAY 2022

PARKS PROGRAMS...Summer programs begin June 1. There is still time to register for adult enrichment, language and fitness classes. The online program guide can be viewed HERE.

MACGREGOR PARK...We love to see the park bustling with visitors. Please remember that you must stay on the trails at all times. Guests are not permitted to walk into the prairies, or into the wooded areas. MacGregor is a passive nature park and if you wander into non-designated areas, it can endanger the ecosystem, including native plants and animal habitats. Thank you!
