With July as Parks and Recreation Month, the Chamblee Parks and Recreation Department is celebrating the work of park and recreation professionals who provide services that are vital to a healthy Chamblee. A variety of activities are planned for residents and visitors, including:
31 in 31 Challenge – (registration required) walk/run/jog 31 miles in 31 days. Keep track of your own mileage by taking a picture of your Fitbit, Apple Watch, etc., as well as logging your miles. The first 50 families to register will receive a Mad Italian gift card and once the challenge is completed, they will be entered to win a Mad Italian T-shirt. In addition, for bragging rights, the City of Chamblee will be competing against the Cities of Brookhaven and Dunwoody to see who has the most participants.
Whodunit Scavenger Hunt – July 1-July 31 – (registration required) - This scavenger hunt is full of puzzles, mazes and other challenges that are sure to test each registrant’s brain and takes them on a tour throughout the city. The average time of completion is three hours.
July 17 Movie Night at Keswick Park Soccer Field – (pre-registration required) – The movie is “Doolittle,” and the gates open at 8 p.m. The movie starts at 8:45 p.m.
