Last Friday's Kirchhoff Park Ribbon Cutting was a blast! Thank you to everyone who joined us for the grand reopening of our newest (and last!) rePLAY renovation.

Swing by to check out a new playground, new shelters (reservations now available!), beautiful pathway and more. Kirchhoff Park has been part of our community for over 100 years, now with many more years of fun to come ๐Ÿ›๐ŸŽ‰

Also, sneak a peek at the Tot Spot ๐Ÿ‘€ well on its way to completion thanks to the Valpo Parks Foundation! Stay tuned for the official opening date for littles to enjoy their very own fenced in space.
