About the event

Lawn games and leisure sports are a wonderful way to appreciate the longer days and warm weather. They are approachable for many age ranges and skill levels and are a fun addition to any picnic or family game night! Expand your repertoire of outdoor activities as we explore, strategize, and play leisure sports together. Join us each session to learn the rules, history, and etiquette of a new lawn game.

This session we will be learning the game of Kubb. Originating in Sweden, this lawn game using wooden batons to knock over wooden blocks is described as a combination of the bowling and horseshoes. The game is easy to pick up and can be played nearly anywhere. Come enjoy this relaxed Viking past-time.

All minors must be accompanied by a registered adult.

Nature Nerds: Lakeshore Life

Expand your knowledge of our local flora and fauna by exploring a different area of the park each month. Join park staff as they "nerd out" over a different group of animals, plants, fungi or other living things each month. Help collect data for our Biodiversity Project on iNaturalist while increasing your own identification skills. This month we will be focusing on the animals that live along the lakeshore. We will be exploring both on land and in the lake. Bring waders, rubber boots, or other shoes that can get wet and help us collect aquatic species! This program takes place outdoors. Please dress for the weather, including sturdy, closed-toed shoes. Participants may request program modifications during the registration process. Schedule: Sep 18, 2026 Friday from 1pm to 2pm Duration: 1 hour Ages: 8 yrs +,

Mah Jongg Club

Join us for an enjoyable afternoon of Mah Jongg! Bring your skills and love of the game to connect with others over strategy and tiles. Some experience is preferred, as this is a game-playing club, not a teaching session.
