A Week of Fun-Filled Activities

Families can take part in the St. Patrick’s Day Family Fun Run on March 17, where children will follow a leprechaun’s tracks in a race to find the hidden pot of gold. Participants are encouraged to wear green for a chance to win a prize for best-dressed!

On March 18 and March 21, two Field Days will offer games and activities at Indian Hills Park and Southwest Park. Kids will have the opportunity to play, explore, and enjoy the outdoors in a safe and interactive environment.

For little book lovers, March 19 features a Guided Storywalk and Chalk Art session at Hightower Park. This unique event blends storytelling with creative chalk art, allowing children to bring their favorite stories to life.

One of the most exciting events, Big Truck Day, takes place on March 20 at the WOSC parking lot. Kids can get up close to service vehicles, tractors, and big trucks, learning about the machinery that keeps Altus running.
