There are two chances to attend the six parks and earn the stickers this year. Each ward is represented with Idlewild, Valleywood, Huffaker, Mira Loma, Dorothy McAlinden/Mayor’s Park, and Teglia’s Paradise Park. 

Some of the events will be hiking, touring the nature gardens at Valleywood and Idlewild, basic bike safety and maintenance, fishing, stargazing, and more!
