Playground Program: We are gearing up for the start of summer and the Playground Program. As of May 25, participants were enrolled in the program. Our afternoon programs at Behm's Park, Birch Park and Sunrise ark are full at 50 participants each and our afternoon program at Clearwater Creek Park is almost full at 42 participants. There are still plenty of openings in our Highland Meadows afternoon program as well as our Birch Park and Sunrise Park morning programs. Teen Programs: Our Access Adventure teen programming is off to a slow start. We had to cancel two of our spring programs (Earn 5K in 6 Weeks and Metro Area Skatepark Tour) due to lack of registrations. We hope our summer Amazing Teen Race draws some participants, but at the moment it is still without interest. We will be continuing Access Adventure programming in the fall despite the poor showing this spring and summer. We hope that our new relationship with the Chain of Lakes YMCA will help increase attendance. The Access Adventure collaborative now consists of the Parks and Recreation Departments of Lino Lakes, Shoreview, Blaine, and Arden Hills, and the Chain of Lakes YMCA. ADULT Softball: Adult Softball is off to a great start. We haven't had one rain out yet this season! Adult Golf: Adult Golf lessons are finishing for the May ession. We had a big jump in registration this spring. sons are run at Shadow Ridge Driving Range and Chomonix Golf Course. Questions? Please contact Liz Benoit or Brian Hronski at 651- 982 -2440.
