Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work diligently to coordinate programs and events under the new and changing guidelines of Covid-19.
For fall, we will continue to offer a mix of great in-person and online recreation programs. With conditions continuing to change, fewer details will be in the printed brochure. This will be more of a resource guide with detailed information being available at: webtrac.crystalmn.gov. We encourage you to take a look at the website and sign up for a program today.
Fall is also a great time to visit the parks and trails in Crystal, with fall colors making the season enjoyable. Becker Park opened this year and has been busy all summer long. If you haven’t seen it for yourself, the park features a large inclusive play area, spray pad, restroom building, performance area and more. It’s a great place to play, have a picnic or just relax. You can also enjoy the new picnic shelter and paved trail at Iron Horse Park. In addition, there are plenty of old favorites still open and available for you to explore.
Sincerely, John Elholm, Recreation Director
