What is Year Of Kids?

2025 is all about bringing families together, creating unforgettable experiences, and making our community stronger than ever. Throughout the year, we’re hosting free, family-friendly events at Northeast Community Park—and you’re invited!


From exciting Easter egg hunts to movie nights under the stars, sports camps, craft days, and holiday celebrations, there’s something for everyone. These events are designed to bring our community together, give kids a place to laugh, learn, and play, and create moments that families will cherish.
