On Saturday, over 200 people came out to Everyone Can Bird! It was a beautiful day to be outside and learn about the birds migrating to their winter homes.

Everyone Can Bird is a special birding event focused on accessibility for all. We love getting the track chair on the trail for folks to use! ASL interpretation was provided, binoculars were available to use, and free shuttle bus transportation from multiple locations was offered.

Miss this event? Watch for the springtime edition of this event in early May next year.

Another great season of NFL Flag Football League wrapped up this week. Congratulations to all the youth players on an awesome season of fun and hard work!

A special highlight: the 6th-8th grade division had two teams that consisted of all-girls, a first for this program. We hope to see the number of girls participating grow next year!

This is a big program; 28 teams were supported by 50+ volunteer coaches and nine referees this year. We're grateful to have a community so dedicated.

Finally, huge thanks to Parks & Rec staff for their efforts making this program happen! Organizing that many teams, jerseys, and divisions is no small feat. Their hard work makes this a special program for everyone involved.
