We're inviting the community to kick off the season with us at Passport to MetroParks, Friday, May 29th at RiverScape MetroPark. This event introduces our community to all the wonderful parks, programs, and events that MetroParks provides in a fun, family-friendly atmosphere with food, music, educational booths and activities.
The Floating Event Ambassador roams the event greeting and welcoming park patrons, passing out event passports, and directing visitors to the booths to collect stamps.
