The Downtown Transit Center parking garage will be power washed beginning Sunday, April 16. The project is expected to take two to three weeks.

During the power wash period, some disruptions may occur to entrance/exit traffic patterns and some parking spaces will be closed. Other parking spaces may require vehicles to park in a specific manner. Please obey all signs and traffic guidance, and avoid parking spaces completely cordoned off with orange cones and yellow tape.

CBJ Parks & Recreation will host a free Movie in the Park showing of “Wall-E” (PG) on Earth Day, Saturday, April 22 at 1:30 p.m. The showing will take place at the Dimond Park Field House, 2961 Riverside Drive, and includes door prizes and take-home activity kits.

This event is free thanks to the generous sponsorship of ASEA/AFSCME Local 52, Juneau Chapter. Tickets for a prize drawing will be available at the door; the drawing will take after the movie (must be present to win). Following the show, movie-goers will also be able to pick up kid-friendly DIY Earth Day activity kits to take home.

Doors to the Field House will open 15 minutes prior to show time. No reservations are required; simply show up. Please note that no food or drinks (besides water) are allowed on the turf in the Field House. Feel free to bring chairs, pillows, blankets, or sleeping bags.

The City and Borough of Juneau’s seasonal campground, the Mill Campground, opens Monday, April 17. The campground, operated by the Parks & Recreation Department, provides 19 tent platforms, toilets, drinking water, and bear-proof food storage. There is no vehicle access or parking; walk-in use only. The facility provides primitive camping with no electricity. There’s no cost to camp, but campers must register with campground staff.

The Mill Campground, located at 911 Thane Road, is a partnership with AJT/Alaska Electric Light & Power, The Glory Hall, SEARHC and JAMHI.

The campground closes October 16, 2023.

CBJ Parks & Recreation will offer several weeklong day camps throughout the summer for children ages 5 – 11. Online registration opens Monday, April 10, at 12 p.m. (click the “Youth & Teen” tab). Each weeklong camp costs $100-150. A total of 176 spaces are available.

This year, Parks & Rec is offering camps at Zach Gordon Youth Center and Dimond Park. Each weeklong ZGYC camp focuses on a different theme, including arts and crafts, hiking and the outdoors, sports and games, and even real world DnD. Schedules range from morning- and afternoon-only camps to all-day sessions.

Meanwhile, the brand-new Dimond Park Adventure Camps combine swimming and water games at Dimond Park Aquatic Center with activities at Dimond Park Field House and surrounding trails. Please note that unlike ZGYC summer camps, campers must be dropped off at DPAC and picked up at the Field House.

Find complete camp descriptions and details on ZGYC’s Summer Camps 2023 page.

Scholarships are available for all camps. Contact Recreation Coordinator Amanda Lovejoy at (907) 586-2635 ext. 4156 or [email protected] for more information on how to register with a scholarship.
