HOLIDAY CLOSURES
Dear Lansing Neighbors,
FROM THE MAYOR
Summer is right around the corner and Lansing is the place to be as the weather heats up! We have so many great activities and events happening all across the city.
The Lansing Parks and Recreation Department offers something for just about everyone. This edition of Lansing Living provides information on events and activities that bring us together as a community. In here you will find Parks and Recreation Activities, the Capital Area Recycling and Trash (CART) Greensheet and so much more from the City of Lansing.
Check out the new Grand River overlook in Fulton Park, take your kids to try the BMX pump track at Gier Park, play pickleball at Clifford Park, or try the new Fitness Court at Debbie Stabenow Park. My wife and I also love the Concerts in the Park series that feature awesome bands in parks all across Lansing.
It is truly an honor to serve as your Mayor, and I look forward to working on behalf of you and your neighbors to keep our city moving forward.
Mayor Andy Schor
