Johnson City: Kids to Parks Day at Metro-Kiwanis Park
2 weeks ago
"May 4, 2026 Parks and Recreation to celebrate Kids to Parks Day May 16 at Metro-Kiwanis Park Johnson City Parks and Recreation will participate in the annual Kids to Parks Day program on Saturday, May 16 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Metro-Kiwanis Park. This year marks the 16th anniversary of Kids to Parks Day, an annual day of outdoor exploration at local, state, and national parks and public lands across the country. Hosted on the third Saturday of May, Kids to Parks Day encourages kids and families to get outside and create their own adventure at thousands of local park events and programs. The Parks and Recreation team will have stations set up throughout Metro-Kiwanis including mountain biking, arts and crafts, kickball, pickleball, tennis, and much more. Passport books will be available for participants to complete each station, with the opportunity to win prizes. Members of Trek Johnson City will be on site to assist with the mountain biking course, while the Science Hill Lacrosse team and Johnson City Rugby teams will be providing an introduction to their sports. Organized by National Park Trust, the mission of Kids to Parks Day is to foster future outdoor enthusiasts and help with developing the next generation of park stewards by engaging kids in memorable outdoor experiences. While discovering and exploring our parks, kids learn about park stewardship, outdoor recreation, STEM, and the history of our country and its amazing national treasures – because kids need parks and parks need kids. Kids to Parks Day is a free event and open to all ages. Metro-Kiwanis Park is located at 817 Guaranda Drive in Johnson City. For more information on Kids to Parks Day, please contact Community Engagement Specialist David Compton at [email protected]. ### "
