Parks and Recreation Gearing up for Busy October

From preschool swimming lessons to men’s basketball leagues to fitness for seniors, Urbandale Parks and Recreation has something for everyone in October.

Here are some of the activities you and your family can take part in:

Bricks 4 Kidz classes provide an extraordinary atmosphere for children to learn, build and play with LEGO® bricks. Programs are built around our proprietary model plans, designed by engineers and architects, with exciting themes such as space, construction, and amusement parks. Specially designed project kits and theme-based models provide the building blocks for the Bricks 4 Kidz approach to educational play.

Seniors can take part in a variety of fitness classes, from those offering general exercise to Tai Chi, yoga and Wii sports.
