RECREATION GUIDE Summer 2018
Dear Residents, Sunshine and warmer temperatures are finally here. It s the season to spend time outdoors and to take advantage of our summer offerings. The city has two parks for you and your family to enjoy Purvis Park and Community Park: Purvis Park has an outdoor pool, tennis and pickle ball courts, picnic and playground areas, and free arts & crafts programs. Community Park has picnic and playground areas, a grass field for casual pick up games, and a three-tenths mile perimeter path with exercise stations. Back by popular demand are free yoga classes in the park. Our outdoor movie night will be on Wednesday, July 11 at Community Park featuring a family favorite, Moana. We have a fabulous lineup of bands for the Thursday evening summer outdoor concert series at John Carroll University s Hamlin Quad. This year we have some new acts, together with some old favorites returning, for a full range of musical genres. These concerts are free to attend. Simply arrive by 7:00pm with your blanket or chair and your own refreshments. There is something for everyone to enjoy this summer in University Heights. Sincerely, Michael Dylan Brennan
