The Brooklyn Park community is invited to engage in a variety of activities arranged by the city's Recreation and Parks Department in early March. These activities include workshops designed to aid individuals in navigating life transitions with ease, as well as summer camp opportunities for children. The city is seeking community input for improvements to the Community Activity Center and has scheduled a meeting on March 7th for this purpose. The participation and feedback of the community is of great value to the city, and we encourage all residents to attend and contribute to the discussion.
The meet-up, scheduled from 6:30-8:00 p.m. at the Center's Gardenview Room, will also be streamed for virtual attendees on Facebook Live, as reported by the City of Brooklyn Park's notification. Seems like the city council folks will give these suggestions a gander come spring. Attendees' palates won't go ignored either—snacks, a staple at any respectable gathering, will be served.
It is important to not overlook the interests of young children during the summer season. Therefore, Brooklyn Park has organized summer camps that cater to the needs of children. The registrations for these camps have already begun and the options include youth and teen camps, along with preschool activities at Historic Eidem Farm. Interested individuals or their representatives can either visit the Activity Center, call the number 763-493-8333, or register online via the modern approach.
Assistance with fees and scholarships is available for those who qualify, with reductions of up to 75% based on your household's financial status. However, it is important to note that these scholarships may not apply to all activities.
If you're eyeing your next domicile or just a real estate connoisseur, there's a workshop you might fancy. Dubbed 'Planning Your Move', this shindig aims to demystify the home-selling caboodle — think of it as a guided tour through the selling jungle without the risk of poisonous frogs. Drop by on March 7 from 10-11:30 a.m. for enlightenment with no admission fees attached.
Meanwhile, the International Women's Day and Women's History Month shindig on March 13 is gunning to be the blockbuster event of the month. Teaming up with North Hennepin Community College, the community has an impressive lineup that spans motivational speeches, an empowerment fair, and apparently, a multicultural fashion show. Fans of punctuality can rejoice — the check-in starts as early as 2:30 p.m.
Not to fade into the backdrop, the silver screen will flicker to life at the Community Activity Center come March 15 and 29. Movie buffs, charge your batteries: "Back to the Future" and "Trolls: Band Together" will take center stage, each film evening starting at 5 p.m., and yes, popcorn is on the house.
Beyond the silver screen and camps, there's something for the sporty, the artistically inclined, and those who might want to swing a paddle in indoor pickleball. Youth sports are coming up too, and if you've got the spirit (but maybe not the coordination) for basketball, Reach for Resources is starting their non-competitive league in March. And because generosity never goes out of style, a blood drive and food drive are on the books, providing avenues for those looking to give back a bit.
For those eager to dive into all the nitty-gritty details, the full menu of offerings is a click away. Just nose your way through to the City of Brooklyn Park's announcement, and you might just pencil in a thing or two for March's to-dos.
