The Kids Corner park program keeps kids busy with constructive games and activities that promote positive social interaction with others by encouraging participation and respect. Our Recreation Leaders bring equipment for active group games along with fun arts & crafts supplies to the scheduled parks. All games and activities are following social distance recommendations and safety of all participants is our top priority. We are constantly reviewing guidelines from the CDC and State of Minnesota to stay up to date on best practices for youth programming. This is the first summer we have offered a morning and afternoon Kids Corner programs and it has been very well received.
