As Shakopee Parks and Recreation staff began preparing this summer activities guide, we couldn't help looking back on this past year and reflecting on how much we've missed our program participants and their smiling faces. While 2020 was surely anything but normal, thanks to your help, we've been able to continue providing high- quality recreation programming with a variety of programs, special events and recreation facilities. And we are looking forward to a spring/summer 2021 that feels a bit more "normal" for all of us.

COVID-19 PRECAUTIONS

All programs will follow current federal and state health guidelines and are subject to change or cancellation. Note, many of the photos included in this brochure were taken pre-COVID precautions.

On days of inclement weather, the message will be updated 30 minutes prior to the start of the program. RECREATION HOTLINE: 952-233-9502

Community members enjoy the sounds of Blue Groove Bluegrass during the 2020 Huber Park Performance Series. The summer concert series returns this year. See the schedule in the Hometown Messenger.

The Spring/Summer 2021 Activities Brochure reflects our department's commitment to serving our residents of all ages. We understand how important recreation is to everyone's wellbeing, and we are here to ensure our Shakopee residents have opportunities to get active, socialize and learn new skills in the safest manner possible. SIMPLIFIED BROCHURE We've redesigned our activities brochure to make it easier to find and register for programming with Shakopee Parks and Recreation. You'll notice a much slimmer brochure. We haven't dramatically reduced programming, rather we've created a brochure that's easier to use by including only the information you need to identify the programs that interest you. You will find shorter program descriptions, an adjusted page order and new QR codes, which will quickly allow you to access more information about Parks and Recreation services on our website. SUBSCRIBE TO UPDATES, FOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK If we've learned anything this past year, it's that things can change quickly. That's why we made it a big focus to improve our communication with the community and program participants, so you can be assured you have access to the latest updates.
