Lego to the Park is July 26th! (Free Event)

To help celebrate Parks and Recreation month, LSPR wants you to LEGO To The Park! Join us on Saturday, July 26, for a FREE, family-friendly morning of creativity and community to celebrate Parks and Recreation month! Children ages 4 to 12 years old are invited to bring their LEGOs (Non-Duplo) and participate in collaborative building activities in the great outdoors. Compete for prizes! The first 50 children receive a swag bag from LSPR.

We will have donuts, juice, playground time, and an interactive Agents of Discovery mission—all designed to foster imagination, connection, and fun.

We've got two exciting builds lined up! One is to construct the tallest tower, and the other will be an object you can find in our parks – we'll announce what that is in the morning! Don't forget to bring your Legos!
