Virtual Recreation
🚩 Welcome to the new Virtual Recreation page!
You are probably asking yourself “What on earth is virtual recreation and how does it work?”
We wanted to devise a way to stay engaged with our families while all of us navigate the unprecedented changes. We’re bringing you resources, activities, story time, games and so much more for everyone in your family to enjoy…from the comfort of your own home, in your neighborhood or at one of our parks.
We hope to be able to Join the Fun with you in person soon! Until then Join the Fun with us virtually!
