Winter is thought to be a season of dormancy. While this is true for some critters and plants, for others it is a time of adaptation and survival. Join our professional Naturalists as we trek through the forests and prairies of the parks. Dress warmly as we will be tracking wild animals in the snow while searching for them high and low. This week of outdoor discovery will be combined with warm indoor activities and crafts.

PICKLEBALL LADDER LEAGUE

PICKLEBALL M – F 8:00am – 11:00am

2:00pm – 4:00pm Th 7:30pm – 9:30pm

Join the Pickleball Ladder League! The Co-Ed Pickleball Ladder League format is designed to create new matchups each week for intermediate to advanced Pickleball players. Weekly rankings are based on performance, meaning players will move up or down the ladder based on wins/losses, not points scored.

Each week, players will start in groups of four in the order of ladder ranking. After each game to 11, the winning partnership will move up the ladder and the losing partnership will move down. Partners swap each game. There is a maximum of five wins each league night. After a maximum of five games per team have been played, open play is allowed for the remainder of the time slot as long as courts are available. Not only will you get to meet new people and continue to hone your pickleball skills, but the top two players will get free enrollment to the next season of the league. No Class on 4/1 and 4/8.
