The City will host a free family-friendly event to celebrate Parks and Recreation month

Medicine Hat – The City will host a free, family-friendly event to celebrate Parks and Recreation month on Saturday, June 8 from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. called Energy in Motion.

The event will take place at Towne Square and Riverside Veteran’s Park downtown and will feature local food trucks, an obstacle course bouncy castle, face painting, local vendors, and live fitness demonstrations and activities.

“Our goal is to highlight local businesses and organizations dedicated to fitness, recreation, and the outdoors," says Scott Richter, Manager of Business and Innovation, City of Medicine Hat. "We welcome the community and want them to see themselves in our parks and recreation facilities. We want people being active and connecting with one another and have a sense of belonging. We want people to find something they enjoy and to pursue it!”

Local businesses and organizations that are interested in being a part of the event are encouraged to fill out a vendor registration form. 

If you’re worried about parking downtown, don’t be. Finding a spot will be easier this summer with the addition of free parking on the third level of the Transit Terminal Parkade and ten free spaces at Towne Square. Even though construction is underway on third street, downtown remains open for business.
