Parks and Recreation News

By Scott Lee-Ross

Your Parks and Recreation Commission is busy planning a lot of activities to make this the “Summer of Fun” for Windcrest residents. July is National Parks and Recreation Month. We have several fun activities planned to represent this year’s national theme, “WHERE WE GROW.”

The “Summer of Fun” will kick off with our annual Fourth of July Celebration and Parade. Join us on Tuesday, July 4th at City Hall with an array of vendors and mobile food trucks that will be set up for all to enjoy. The festivities and parade line up will begin at 5PM and the opening ceremony will kick off the parade at 6PM. Come on out and bring your chairs to claim your spot along the parade route, which will begin at City Hall and continue around the Windcrest Golf Course. Do not forget to bring your appetite so you can enjoy some great food from the mobile food trucks and prepare for the hot dog and pie eating contest. The curtains will close on the festivities with the first annual July 4th Talent Show! Trophies will be awarded to the winners, so shine like a star and show off your talents!

Throughout the month of July, the Parks and Recreation Commission will be hosting “Summer of Fun” activities every Thursday. The “Summer of Fun” events are for elementary-aged kids and will be held at Takas Park from 11AM–2PM. All events are free and open to the public. Each child will be provided the supplies for the activities and a snack. Refer to the City’s webpage or text the words “Summer of Fun” to 210-660-5332 for a direct link to the information. Details will be posted on the digital marquees at City Hall and on Crestway.

We will wrap up the celebration of Parks and Recreation month with a free Pickleball clinic on Saturday, July 29th from 8:30AM12:30PM at Takas Park. This event will include coaching and a free pickleball paddle and ball for everyone. All ages welcome! Finally, don’t forget to come out to the free Fitness at the Civic Center classes. Classes begin at 6:30PM. All ages are welcome to participate.

Information on all the festivities will be posted on the City’s website, social media accounts, and digital marque. Remember, stay fit and be active!
