Parks and Recreation -

The splash pad is re-opening at 12 pm today!!

We're so excited for the Rexburg 4th of July parade to sprinkle some star-spangled cheer on our streets this week! A heads-up: if you start decorating City property—like parks, sidewalks, streets, or alleys—with things like blankets, chairs, or coolers before 6:00 pm on July 3rd, our City crews will turn it into a game of finders keeprs, collecting your goodies to stash away until you can retrie them after the holiday. Keeping it festive and fun is kind and courteous to all the parade goers, and as always, be safe. Keep little firecrackers (and big ones, too) out of the street at all times during the parade; that Tootsie Roll can wait! We also recommend bringing your sunscreen and water bottles to avoid getting overheated. Nobody likes a passed-out passerby. Once the confetti settles, head over to Porter Park for exciting activities and delicious food waiting for your arrival! The Party in the Park is sure to keep the spirit going all day long! We can't wait to celebrate this holiday with you! We have to give a special shout-out to the @Rexburg Area Chamber of Commerce for dedicating their tireless efforts to making these two events happen. Their commitment to our community is truly commendable. We’re grateful for their dedication and can’t wait to see the results of their efforts come to life in just a few days!

City Hall and our affiliated offices will be closed on Friday, July 4th, in honor of the Fourth of July. Emergency Services and our recreation facilities will remain in operation as usual. Trash and recycling pickup, normally scheduled for Friday, will be picked up on Saturday, July 5th. We hope you enjoy your holiday! Stay Safe, Rexburg!

Be a part of the celebration by running in our annual Main Street Mile! The race runs the route of the parade before the floats take over the street to cheering crowds along the entire way. This is such a fun way to celebrate the 4th, and we know you don't want to miss it! Register for the race online at rexburgraces.com.

We are so excited for our new all-abilities play equipment over at Smith Park that we're hosting a ribbon cutting to thank the generous donors of these two fun play pieces! Join us at Smith Park this Friday, June 27th, at 10:00 am to help us give a special thanks to the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation for the donation of the whirl, and the Rocky Mountain Power Foundation for the donation of the swing! Bring the kids, let's play and have some fun!

On Juneteenth, we honor the past, celebrate progress, and recommit to building a future of true equality. City Hall and our affiliated offices will be closed on Thursday, June 19th, in honor of Juneteenth. Emergency services will remain in operation as usual. Trash normally picked up on Thursday, the 19th, will be picked up on Friday, the 20th. Let freedom ring!
