Do your kids miss being out on the court? We suggest you check out
Jr. NBA at Home

Speaking of camps and while the evenings are still cool, why not head out to the backyard for a family camping trip! Here are some
ideas for backyard camping

ideas for indoor camping
. And don't forget, nothing really beats an old-fashioned
blanket fort
, good for both day and night use - remember those? The best!!

We believe that parks are essential, now more than ever!
All Town of Cornelius parks remain open at this time, though p
laygrounds and restrooms remain closed. Please note that
we can only keep the parks open if YOU practice social distancing - that is, a physical distance of at least six feet. That means no doubles, no groups, no shared equipment unless among immediate family sharing the same household.
Please, we need your help so we can keep our parks open!
