OUTDOOR PROGRAMS

Come play at Superior’s six pickleball courts at Autry Park. If you are a beginner and would like to try out the sport but don’t have a paddle, come and check one out from the Superior Community Center. (Quantities are limited to first-come, first-served).

Courts are open from dawn to dusk, seven days a week, and operate on an Open Play system.

Please visit superiorrec.com for drop-in “Open Play" hours.

Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in the United States. It combines exercising, competing and using your mind, while socializing and having fun with friends. Unlike many sports, pickleball is something men, women and children can spend time playing and enjoying together.

Ring in the new year together with a first day hike! At this family friendly event, we will start our first hike of the year as one large group at Rock Creek Circle. At 11:00am, we will venture into Coyote Ridge Open Space, where people are encouraged to stay as a group or explore their own trail routes based upon their comfort and fitness levels. Parking is available along Rock Creek Circle or at the Community Center (The Community Center is closed for the New Years Holiday). Leashed dogs are encouraged!

Join the Open Space Ranger and your neighbors for a walk around the town! This unstructured walk will give you the chance to ask your nature questions and interact with your neighbors in a fun way. Each walk will leave the community center at 8:00am, be less than two miles, and will return to the Community Center by 9:00am. Please dress comfortably and bring water, snacks, sturdy shoes, and sun protection to the event.

As winter winds whip, our trash disperses around our town. Celebrate Earth Day by making a difference and helping us collect these elusive waste items! Please meet at William Field in Community Park for 10:00am. Trash bags and disposable gloves will be provided; however, we encourage you to bring your favorite pair of work gloves to cut down on waste.
