Lino Lakes Parks and Recreation Department Program High l igh is - March Park Board Update Special Events Sweetheart Dance: Our second annual CLUB Sweetheart Dance on Saturday, February 15 was a success. One hundred eighty three people attended the event - our highest turnout ever. Participants enjoyed dancing, refreshments and a craft. Youth Youth Instructional: Winter session programs concluded in February. Registration for spring session programs is currently underway and many programs are getting close to filling. Spring session programs are scheduled to begin the last week of March and the beginning ofApril. CLUB: Twenty -two youth attended our Movie, Lunch and Bowling trip on Presidents Day (February 17). The other two trips for the week (which was Centennial's Spring Break week) were cancelled due to low registration. Our next trip, Cheapskate and Tropics, will be on March 28. Currently, 44 participants are signed up to attend. Martial Arts: We will be having a new Marial Arts instructor this spring. We anticipate that this will reenergize the program. T Ball: Once again this program has proved popular, as many sessions are already filled. Additional sessions will only be •red if there are field(s) available. New this summer is Start Smart T ball for 3 -year -olds. Adult 5- Player Basketball: The season concluded with the sending of three teams to the State Tournament. This season we had nine teams participate - one less than last season. Indoor Soccer: Six teams are registered for this season. In the past, this program has had as many as 18 teams. We reduced the size of this program due to the youth soccer club's increased need for turf time at the Centennial Sports Arena. Slowpitch Softball: We are still accepting registrations for this program. Our goal is to have 40 registered teams. The leagues would then be broken down by 6/8 Co -Rec. teams and 36 men's teams. We have reduced the number of teams we can accommodate in this program due to the rescheduling of Rice Lake #3 for youth baseball.

Our next addition (Summer) will be produced in -house for the first time. Web Site: Please visit our web site at www.ci.lino - lakes.mn.us.
