City offices will be closed on Monday, February 16 in observance of President's Day.

We look forward to serving you when we reopen on Tuesday, February 17.

Ready to refresh your gear or make some space in the garage? Join us for a fun, eco-friendly Sports Equipment Swap—a great way to give your gently used gear a second life and maybe find something new-to-you in return!

Whether you're into soccer, basketball, tennis, or anything in between, bring your clean, gently used sports equipment and trade it for something that suits your current interests. No donation is required to participate—just come ready to browse and swap!

What to Bring:

·         Clean, gently used gear (balls, bats, gloves, helmets, cleats, rackets, etc.)

·         Items in good, usable condition

What to Skip:

·         Socks, undergarments, and worn swimsuits

·         Broken, dirty, or heavily worn-out items

·         Safety gear that’s expired or damaged (e.g., bike helmets)

Can’t attend but have gear to donate ahead of time? We’d love to take it off your hands! Contact Violet Penman to arrange a drop-off. This is a family-friendly event, so bring the whole crew and help us promote reuse, reduce waste, and keep our community active!

This event occurs rain or shine.
