Rain, rain, go away! Parks and Recreation wants to play! It’s the time of year when many of our favorite community events occur. The Spring Garden Tour & Plant Exchange is just around the corner!

It’s also time to cast off the dreary gray days of winter and sign up for a class or activity with your Parks and Recreation Department. The offerings are diverse and target all age groups. Many are back by popular demand.

For specific days, times, fees, and schedules, pick-up or call for a copy of the current Activity Guide – we can be reached at (805) 473-4580 – or visit the City’s website. Financial Aid/Scholarships are available for Grover Beach residents. Call to see if you qualify.

And don’t forget to “save the date” for your favorite upcoming community happenings!
