Design Update and Skate Park Work Session for Jackie Renninger Park | January 28

CBJ Parks & Recreation and Corvus Design will host a public meeting on Wednesday, January 28 from 6 – 8 p.m. at the Valley Library to present a park overview and discuss the skate park design.

The community is invited to join this meeting to learn more about the plan, ask questions, and provide feedback. The meeting will be joinable both in-person and online. Follow the meeting event page for more information.

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.

Open Pickleball now includes Saturdays!

CBJ Parks & Recreation is hosting open pickleball in the Floyd Dryden gym every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 12:30-3:30 p.m. and Saturdays from 3:00-6:00 p.m. beginning January 17.
Players of all ages and skill levels are welcome—whether you’re new to the game or a seasoned player, it’s a great chance to play, learn, and connect with other pickleball fans in Juneau. Admission is $5. Equipment is provided and no pre-registration is needed, just drop in ready to play.

Swim Lessons Registration: Winter Session 1

Registration is open for swim lessons in all categories— Preschool, Youth, Adult, and Parent & Tot— for classes beginning in January 2026. Cost is $80 + tax for Youth, Preschool, and Adult classes. Parent & Tot classes are $60 + tax. Registrations will not be taken over the phone, in person, or in advance.

Please be aware that swimmers must meet the registration prerequisites to register for any classes beyond Level 1.  Swimmers who have not attended a Juneau Pools swim test or passed the preceding class within the last six months will not be able to register for upper-level classes.

Jensen-Olson Arboretum Winter Hours

The Jensen-Olson Arboretum winter hours are Friday through Sunday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Visitors are invited to enjoy the beauty of Southeast Alaska as the Arboretum transforms into a seasonal winter wonderland.

Access within the Arboretum will be limited due to winter conditions. Visitors are asked to remain on cleared pathways only, as deep snow can make it difficult to identify the boundaries of garden beds. Guests should use caution both when traveling to the Arboretum and while on the grounds, as paths may be uneven, soft, hard-packed, or icy, particularly in exposed coastal areas. Please keep in mind there are no public restrooms at the JOA at this time.

The much-anticipated Winter Pass is on sale through January 31! Beat the winter blues with unlimited admission to public sessions at the Dimond Park Aquatic Center, Augustus G.

Elevator construction at Dimond Park Field House

During the summer of 2025, the Dimond Park Field House began a major upgrade with the installation of a new elevator. Construction of the elevator has been completed; however, final integration with the building’s fire alarm system has delayed its opening. The anticipated completion date is Spring 2026.

The facility is currently operating under regular hours and programming. Thank you for your patience as we work to improve accessibility and enhance the Field House experience! For full schedule details, please visit the DPFH Calendar.

Sigoowu Ye Park Closed for Renovations

Sigoowu Ye in Lemon Creek will remain closed to the public as renovation work continues. Construction has been delayed due to weather and is now expected to be completed in spring 2026. Renovations to the park include new playground equipment, landscaping, pathways, and lighting. For the safety of yourself and others, please respect the park closure and avoid all construction equipment until the project is complete and the park has reopened.

Homestead Park Closed for Reconstruction

Homestead Park in Douglas will be closed to the public for major reconstruction work beginning Monday, January 13. Construction is expected to continue into June 2025. During this closure, the park will undergo a number of improvements including replacements to the elevated wooden platforms, walkways, and stairs. This project is funded by the Marine Passenger Fee program. Learn more about the Homestead Park Rebuild project on the CBJ project page.
