CBJ Parks & Recreation and Corvus Design will host a public meeting on Monday, June 24 from 6 – 7:30 p.m. at the Mendenhall Valley Library to present four conceptual master plan options for Jackie Renninger Park.

The community is invited to join this meeting to learn more about the different plans, ask questions, and provide feedback.

The Pipeline Skate Park within Jackie Renninger Park is currently in need of several structural and safety improvements, and Parks & Rec is taking this opportunity to explore what additional features could help the park meet the needs of local residents.

Previous park planning events include an interactive design meeting, a Pipeline Skate Park youth meeting, and a community survey. At the interactive meeting, park users and other members of the community experimented with hands-on design and discussed ideas for park features—input that contributed to the plans that will be presented at this meeting.

For questions, contact Parks & Recreation at (907) 586-5226 or [email protected].

Registration for Start Smart Tennis opens Monday, June 17 at noon. Start Smart Tennis is the newest addition to CBJ Parks & Recreation’s youth sports lineup, offering a supportive environment for children ages 5-7—together with an adult in their life—to learn the basic skills of tennis.

Register online under the Youth & Teen tab. Registration is first come, first served. All registrations received after the session is full will be placed on a waitlist.

Start Smart Tennis sessions are held 5:45 – 6:45 p.m. every Tuesday from July 9 through August 13 at Cope Park. Children work with an adult in their life to learn skills such as ground strokes, serving, volleying and running/agility without the threat of competition or the fear of getting hurt. Adults are active participants in the program.

The program costs $40 plus tax and includes a Start Smart t-shirt. Scholarships are available; contact Amanda Lovejoy at (907) 586-2635 ext. 4156 or [email protected] for more information.

For more information, visit the program website, or contact Recreation Coordinator Eric Moots at [email protected] or (907) 586-2635.

During the walk and talk, you’ll learn how to ID invasive garden plants, compare them to horticultural varieties, and hear about how some of the most aggressive became this way.

Admission is free. No need to register—just show up ready to learn.
