During the event on Friday, October 28, families collected candy while enjoying a short nature walk and the kid-friendly Halloween decorations. Afterward, kids in costumes burned off their sugar rush on the playground while parents visited the pavilion to learn about upcoming winter programs.

Inside the rec center, Gym A was transformed into a kids’ fun zone with inflatable basketball and T-ball games and candy corn bowling. A team of face painters thrilled kids with mask-like designs or colorful accents for their costumes. All the events encouraged kids to play, exercise, and stay active even as they enjoyed their sweet treats.
