Background:
The attached proclamation, if approved, will declare May 16, 2026, as Kids to Parks Day in the City of Broken Arrow. The National Park Trust has designated May 16, 2026, as National Kids to Parks Day, which encourages children and families to seek out a local, state, or national park for a day of fun through active learning and building healthy habits. We once again plan to accomplish these objectives through providing family relays, yard games, kids coloring, and water activities at Nienhuis Park (3201 N. 9th Street) on May 16, 2026.
• Kids to Parks Day will start at 10:00am on May 16th and end around 12:00pm.
• During this annual event, the Parks and Recreation Department will be hosting family relays, yard games and water activities from 10am-12pm.
We encourage citizens to come out and enjoy Kids to Parks Day at Nienhuis Park on May 16, 2026.
