Dear Madison County Parks and Recreation Families: We would like to thank you all for your continued support for our youth programs, events, and activities at Hoover Ridge Park. We are proud to serve you in any way we can during these challenging times. It is with a heavy heart that we announce some very tough cancellations for several programs and events. Please note that these cancellations are at no fault of any individual, group, or organization - we are all doing the very best we can with the resources we have, all while trying to maintain the safest environment possible for our guests, participants, instructors, volunteers, and staff. We will also attempt to make additional opportunities available in any way we can. We will continue to communicate via e-mail, website, and Facebook page when opportunities arise for you and/or your children. We encourage you to try new things, offer to volunteer if you can, and suggest reasonable opportunities that operate within our guidelines. Haunted Woods. Due to the safety concerns of our volunteers and staff, we have canceled this event for 2020. We will be back in 2021, better than ever! Indoor Sports/Programs/Events. Due to lack of space and inability to provide adequate sanitation between use, all indoor sports, programs, and events are canceled through May 2021. This includes Youth Basketball, Youth Cheerleading, Tae Kwon Do in MCPS facilities, Women's Volleyball, Youth Volleyball, Wrestling, Indoor Soccer, Indoor Soccer Clinics, Heroes & Villains Children's Event, Princess Dance Party Event, Master Builders, SQBA rentals in MCPS gyms, Jazzercise in MCPS facilities, and any other P&R Activities that may have been missed that take place in MCPS facilities. We are currently offering clinics and programs through the next few months, even outdoors through the winter. We have three remaining Movie events and one Music event. We are working on a plan for Halloween fun at our last Movies in the Park event on October 30. We will also come up with a creative way to hold our S'mores with Santa event in December. We may do pop-up art activities for fall and winter, exercise challenges, contests, etc. to keep our families active and engaged in a new and exciting way. We are also working with the schools to sponsor activities in and around Hoover Ridge Park for students. We are open to additional activities with help from volunteers, coaches, and commissioners. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns. |
