We hope that you take the time to walk the path at Thornton Park, take
your child to a playground, or surely a visit to one of the soccer or baseball
fields will be in your plans this spring. This is a great opportunity to
connect with neighbors and make new friends.
I have to say it is an honor to connect with neighbors in my weekly
recreation program. Because not only do I work for the City, but
my family also is a consumer. Getting to know the people through
programs has been a delight, and we really hope to see you at one
of the City’s events this summer. Beginning with the annual Memorial
Day Parade and ending with the Doggie Dip, there are many
recreational opportunities waiting for you this spring and
summer in Shaker.
Be Active. Stay Healthy. Have Fun.
