About the event

Tae Kwon Do is a martial art, it originated in Korea and the name means 'the art of kicking and punching'. We use kicks, punches and blocks in a series of moves called 'forms' and in sparring each other. We practice a non-contact style of Tae Kwon Do; each kick or punch is delivered with full force but lands several inches from the target that allows students to develop their skills without hurting each other. This class is for students with experience in Tae Kwon Do and want to progress through the belt levels towards a black belt. All equipment will be provided. The instructor is a Senior black belt instructor and member of USA Tae Kwon Do Masters Association.

Storytime with Kelly Starling Lyons: Ellen's Broom

Join author Kelly Starling Lyons on August 1 at 2 p.m. to listen to her illustrated children’s book Ellen's Broom, and learn about the story's background and the author's inspiration. Participants will enjoy a powerful story about preserving strong family ties in the face of injustice, the merging of new and old traditions, and the history of "jumping the broom." For a reminder of these important lessons, each participant will make a mini-broom pencil to take home! Free and open to all ages but recommended for ages 5–10. Registration is required for all participating children, and all kids must have a supervising adult(s). The program will take place indoors in the park's climate-controlled Main House, followed by a craft activity. Schedule: Aug 1, 2026 Saturday from 2pm to 3pm Duration: 1 hour Ages: All ages,
