Monster Dash update!

It's with sadness in our hearts that we must inform you that 2026's Monster Dash.. 𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐚 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐠𝐠𝐲! Haha! Little trick going into your holiday weekend!

As of this post, the Monster Dash will still be happening and we'll see you in the morning. Packet pickup and/or registration will start at 7:15AM at the MacLean Park Small Pavilion.

I would like to remind everyone: Shirts were only guaranteed if you signed up 𝐁𝐄𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐄 October 12th. "Extras" were doled out in the order of registration. Past shirts may be available.

Remember to dress up in your best costumes! There will be costume contests for both races with prizes including Cane's gift baskets! (Baskets are not available for all categories.)

We hope to see you tomorrow! Please check here tomorrow for any weather-related updates regarding the race.

We've made our final preparations getting ready for our much-anticipated locker room renovation! (Jonathan, himself, double checked!) And we're ready!

Both locker rooms are officially closed. The family restroom near the Natatorium, and the front hallway bathrooms are open for use. All of these bathrooms are gender-neutral and ADA-compliant.

With a planned reopening date in March 2027, we appreciate your patience as we make the Recreation Center better for our patrons and our community.

If you have any questions, please stop by the front desk. We'd be happy to answer any questions!

A huge thank you to everyone who made a splash with us at the Lake Jackson Pumpkin Plunge! We loved seeing all the swimming, the pumpkin hunting, and the creative painting and cookie decorating!

Cameron went home with our special pumpkin by guessing the closest weight, his guess was 20.5 and our pumpkin weighed 21 lbs, 4 Oz.

We hope you love your new gourd-eous creations at home!

Stay tuned for more fun events from Lake Jackson Parks & Recreation!
