Special Events 

Be our guest at this tea party for you and the little princes and princesses in your life. Make sure you both come dressed to impress. Lay your napkin in your lap and we’ll provide the rest – including tea cakes and sandwiches, tea, and lemonade. No one will be gloomy or complaining when we end the afternoon with popular party games and music. So will it be one lump of sugar or two for you?

All Father Figures and their daughters aged 0 through 12 are invited to walk the red carpet into our Princess Ball! Dress as your favorite character, A Princess Ball Gown, or your favorite pair of blue jeans, and enjoy some great music and light refreshments while we capture lifelong memories for you and your loved ones! 

Our furry, scaly, and feathered friends are always there for us. Why not return the love with a little pampering for them? February 20th is National Love Your Pet Day and we’re holding a photo contest to celebrate all the wonderful animals in our lives. To enter, submit a picture to the Rec Facebook page of your pet enjoying themselves at one of our parks. Winners will be selected by popular vote and will receive a gift card.
