The Windcrest City Parks and Recreation Commission convened on May 29, 2025, to discuss upcoming summer events aimed at engaging the community and enhancing recreational opportunities. The meeting focused on planning four key events scheduled for July, including two water days, an art day, and a big rig day, with a proposed budget of $5,000 allocated for these activities.

The commission identified July 10 and July 24 as water days, where children can enjoy water slides and other aquatic features. The art day is set for July 17, allowing participants to engage in creative activities. The big rig day, scheduled for July 31, will feature vehicles from local police and fire departments, providing children with a hands-on experience to explore and learn about these essential services.

Commission members emphasized the importance of volunteer participation, encouraging each commissioner to attend at least one event. The discussions highlighted the need for community involvement, with plans to reach out to local businesses for support, including potential partnerships for snacks and refreshments. The commission aims to provide healthy snack options, such as prepackaged fruits and water, to avoid complications with food handling regulations.

Additionally, the meeting touched on the possibility of incorporating a sports day, featuring activities like pickleball and Frisbee golf, to further diversify the offerings for families. The commissioners expressed enthusiasm for the proposed agenda and began assigning responsibilities for each event, ensuring a collaborative effort in executing the summer activities.

As the commission moves forward, they will finalize details and confirm arrangements with city vendors for equipment and supplies. The successful execution of these events is anticipated to foster community spirit and provide enjoyable experiences for Windcrest residents throughout the summer.
