SOMETHING SOMETHING FOR FOR EVERYONE EVERYONE

From the Mayor Hello, Lansing neighbors!

As Mayor, I get asked about Lansing Living all the time, and I am proud to provide you with this latest edition.

In here, you will find the Lansing Parks and Recreation Activities Guide, the Capital Area Recycling and Trash (CART) Greensheet, and other information from the City of Lansing.

This Lansing Living guide provides information on events and activities that bring us together as a community. The City of Lansing Parks and Recreation Department is proud to offer something for just about everyone.

Fall is a wonderful time to explore Lansing’s incredible trail system.

We are truly lucky to have so many miles of trails connecting our neighborhoods and parks.

lansingmi.gov | FALL 2022 | 1

I encourage you to get on out there and take a walk along the banks of the Grand River, the Red Cedar River, or Sycamore Creek and experience one of our city’s gems.

I hope you enjoy this guide and are able to take advantage of the many programs offered by the City of Lansing and our partners. 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

Todd Martin Youth Leadership Program

Todd Martin Youth Leadership (TMYL), a National Junior Tennis and Learning Program (NTJL) chapter and affiliate of the USTA provides youth tennis programming in cooperation with the City of Lansing. All coaches for the programs are TMYL staff.

Quick Start Tennis

$80/Res; $120/Non-Res This format utilizes modified tennis balls, smaller racquets and court dimensions to provide a successful learning experience and lots of fun for players 6-10 years old. Progression is from red, orange, green to yellow (adult) balls. Ball, racquet and court transitions are based on a natural progression in technique, skill, athleticism, and age. Because each child matures differently, it is important to realize children of the same age and differing abilities may move fluidly between colored ball types (red to orange OR orange to red) based on their successes and need to improve individual specific tennis skill techniques such as serves, forehand and backhand.

No classes on 11/25.

“FEET ON THE STREET” PROGRAM The City of Lansing is participating in the “Feet on the Street” program, which is why you may have noticed people walking in front of recycling trucks, looking in recycling carts, and leaving behind informational tags. Information that explains the program and what materials can go in bins has been mailed to households who have curbside recycling. This program will help to identify problems at the source, educate our community, and hopefully, increase participation by lessening confusion and contamination.

YARD WASTE COLLECTION The seasonal collection of leaves, grass clippings and other yard waste materials will continue until the end of November 2022. Materials should be placed at the curbside in paper bags on your normal collection day. Do not use the City of Lansing’s trash carts or private waste hauler carts. Paper lawn care bags are available at most grocery and hardware stores. Brush and tree trimmings must be less than four-feet in length and less than two-inches in diameter, bundled securely with string or twine, not wire.

Minecraft Modding Quest

$194/Res; $194/Non-Res Does your child enjoy playing Minecraft? Minecraft: Education Edition is built on top of the regular Minecraft game and includes additional features to teach kids coding and other STEM skills. It promotes creativity, collaboration and problem-solving in an immersive environment, where the only limit is imagination. We start by introducing kids to the very basic concepts of stacking commands together to make computers accomplish tasks - the fundamentals of coding. Kids will control agents to solve puzzles while interacting with different in-game characters. We will then move on to learn core coding concepts such as loop, operations, conditional, events, function, variables, and more. As students get more comfortable with these coding skills, they will also start building more complex structures as well as mini games through coding. Level: Intermediate.

Prerequisites: For students who are new to coding, we recommend taking Scratch Ninja 1 & 2 first before this class.
