The third annual Best Sapper competition just wrapped up in our city park, bringing together military excellence and community spirit in a spectacular showcase. Our heartfelt thanks go out to Trey and the Parks Department team whose dedication made this event possible.

Families will be thrilled to hear that the Little Heroes Playground has reopened with amazing new flooring that was absolutely worth the wait.
