Open Turf
Open Turf is a new weekly drop-in program where residents of all ages can share access to the turf, similar to open swim or open skate. Open Turf will take place Mondays and Wednesday from 2 – 4 p.m. The cost is $5 for adults and $3 for youth/seniors. Punch passes and monthly passes are available. Please be aware that children and youth must be supervised by an adult.
A variety of balls will be available for check out at the front office on a first-come, first-served basis. You can also bring your own equipment—just keep in mind that it will need to function in a controlled amount of shared space.
