Parks and Recreation programs will continue throughout construction
The city is making every effort to continue as many Parks and Recreation programs, classes, camps, leagues and events as possible throughout construction. While most programs will continue, some may be temporarily unavailable because of facility or scheduling limitations.
Depending on the activity, programs may be held at:
Maple Grove parks and athletic facilities
Area schools
Crosswinds Church (senior programming)
Town Green and Central Park
Eagle Lake Community Building
The Sports Dome
Partner facilities throughout the community
Each program’s confirmed location will be included in the activity guide and online registration listing. Participants should review those details carefully because locations may differ from previous seasons.
