Recreation, passive and active, plays an important role in our lives. The Lawrence

and league play for all ages, special events, community gardens and much more.

Our parks provide an opportunity for family picnics and trips to use the playground

equipment. This calendar outlines many of the programs scheduled for the Fall

and Winter. We make every effort to operate the programs as outlined in this bro-

chure but occasionally changes are necessary. Public input is always welcome and

enables the Recreation Department to expand and enhance programs and facili-

ties. Comments can be directed to the Recreation Office, which is open Monday to
