FROM THE MAYOR Dear Lansing neighbors, Summertime is right around the corner, and Lansing is the place to be. We have so many great activities and events happening in the city.

My wife and I love the Concerts in the Park series that features an awesome variety of music and takes place in parks all across Lansing. Check out the listing on page 7 in this publication and then get out and see some really great live music with the whole family during those warm summer nights.

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

Here, you will find an overview of Lansing Parks and Recreation activities, the Capital Area Recycling & Trash (CART) Greensheet, and details on this season’s Concerts in the Park.

I hope you can 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!
