FALL 2023
A message from Director of Parks & Recreation, Frank Carson
This fall we are excited about a potential Guinness World Record opportunity. More info will be coming soon. Additionally, we are excited about Hauntfest, the region’s largest free-entry Halloween event on Friday, October 20. We are also proud to honor our veterans on Saturday, September 11 at Centennial Plaza for Veterans Day, and we look forward to our ever-growing popular Winter Wonderland on Saturday, December 9 which features free photos with Santa at Wells Park. More importantly, we are proud to serve our local communities with the core services we offer, which include dance, tumbling, cheer, gymnastics, swim lessons, youth sports, and free play at Recreation Centers. We recently received a 50k grant from the National Park and Recreation Association (NRPA) to enhance our youth diversionary services located at Renette Park. More information will be coming soon. Thanks to El Cajon City Council, all of our Recreation Centers are equipped with air conditioning and are recognized as Cool Zones on hot days. These include Fletcher Hills, Bostonia, Renette, Kennedy, and Hillside Recreation Centers. Lastly, we encourage all community members to get outdoors and enjoy your local park.
