Kingsport Parks and Recreation offers Pops in the Park

As the weather turns cooler this fall, now is the perfect time to enjoy the outdoors with friends and family, play some games and spend a few hours at one of the many parks found within the Model City.

Beginning this Thursday, Kingsport Parks and Recreation is offering a new program to the community – Pops in the Park. The program involves visiting and playing in a different park each week, enjoying tasty popsicles and making new friends in the community.

Pops in the Park will take place at Riverwalk Park this Thursday (August 27) at 10 a.m. The program is free, open to the public and does not require registration.

Subsequent dates include September 8, September 23, October 9 and October 16 – all weather dependent. Visit the Kingsport Parks and Recreation Facebook page the day before for each event location.

“Pops in the Park is just our way to encourage families to go outside, maybe make some new friends and enjoy all our local parks have to offer,” said Program Administrator Erin Larkin.
