SPRING 2023

A message from Director of Parks & Recreation, Frank Carson

Spring 2023 looks to be one of our best yet! So many exciting things are happening starting with our Public Works - Parks Division hosting Arbor Day at Hillside Park on Saturday, March 11 from 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM. The public is welcome to attend, get lots of free goodies and also help plant some trees in areas of the park that need them. Then, on March 18, we are hosting our 55th Annual Dance & Tumbling Recital at The Magnolia. Tickets are on sale now, call (619) 441-1516 for more information. Finally, our biggest spring event is back on Saturday, May 20 from 3:00 - 8:00 PM - America on Main Street! All rides, activities and attractions are free, you just have to pay for food and drink celebrating Armed Forces Day. We are happy to be the only city in San Diego County that hosts camps accredited through the American Camp Association (ACA) at Hillside Park. For more information, please call (619) 441-1674. Additionally, we are privileged to offer so many city staff taught programs and services, more than any other city in San Diego County per capita. I encourage you to try one of our many entry level classes because you just might find your lifelong passion, no matter your age.
