Duluth Parks and Rec

You may not be familiar with "Edible Duluth", launched through the City Of Duluth Parks and Recreation Department, but it is a great community project and they could use your help.

Spring break week in Duluth is April 6-10.  While kids are looking forward to a break from school, parents are wondering what they're going to do to occupy their free time that will keep them from being a permanent fixture in front of the TV or video games.  The Duluth Parks and Rec Department is helping with  Spring Break Week  Activities at the Heritage Sports Center.

Spring is here whether Mother Nature likes it or not and registration is underway for the 2015 City Of Duluth Parks and Recreation softball leagues. Time to secure your sponsors for the season.

Volunteering can be a very rewarding way to give back to the community and perhaps meet new friends.  If you've been looking to get  involved and have a passion for the outdoors, Duluth's new Rapid Response and Early Detection Team is looking for volunteers just like you.

Tell your kids to get off the couch and text their friends!  They'll make new friends and get exercise playing flag football with Duluth Parks and Rec.  Never played the sport before?  Perfect!  Introduce them to a new experience and expand their horizons.

It's expected with the spring-like weather we've been experiencing.  Wet, soggy trails that are used for running, hiking and biking.  The scenery is beautiful, but the footing unsteady and to save the trail from being worn down and damaged, we need to refrain from using it until we dry up (which will hopefully be soon!)

Confidence, quick decision making and the "love of the game" is what the City of Duluth Parks and Rec Department is looking for.  They are in need of additional umpires for this softball season and YOU might just be the right person for the job!

You're invited to attend the Parks and Recreation Commission's annual meeting on Wednesday, April 2nd beginning at 6:00 PM. The meeting will be held at the Spirit Mountain Grand Avenue Chalet located at 8551 Grand Avenue.  The evening will feature author Sam Cook!

As we mentioned earlier this week, the Leif Erickson Viking ship will be moved tomorrow morning.  Now the City has announced that the move will cause a temporary closure of the lakewalk for much of the day tomorrow.

The Leif Erickson Viking ship that is currently in Leif Erickson park will be lifted by crane and moved this Thursday to the City of Duluth's Park and Recreation building.  There it will undergo more restoration and repairs.  From that point it will be moved to it's permanent location, which has yet to be decided.

Lakeside Lester Park Soccer Club is looking for the community support at a meeting this next Monday, June 17th, at the Portman Community Club.  The Duluth Parks & Rec department will discuss the proposal starting at 6:30.
