UMD Athletes to Assist in Parks and Recreation Summer Turf Time at Heritage Sports Center


Parks and Recreation is offering "Summer Turf Time" at the Heritage Sports Center every Thursday from 1:00-3:30 PM starting June 16th.

In recognition of athletics as a pathway to strong character and service ethics, we are bringing in UMD Student Athletes to conduct fun games and activities on the indoor turf that will foster fitness, social ties and good sportmanship. This is an opportunity for youth ages 7-17 from across the city to come socialize and participate in organized game activities at the Duluth Heritage Center's Indoor Turf Facility. At each
session, participants are divided by age, ability and interests then teams are formed, and games conducted. Activities will include kickball, flag football, disc golf, soccer, parachutes, relays and obstacle coures.

The Heritage Sports Center is located at 120 South 30th Avenue West. All participants must be part of a group with an adult leader or parent who is encouraged to assist and participate. A healthy snack will be provided after eash session. Space is limited. This activity is FREE. 

This is a joint effort by Parks and Recreation, Boys and Girl's Club, Copeland Valley Community Center, Neighborhood Youth Services and Men as Peacemakers.

For more information and to register, call Parks and Recreation at 730-4300.
