The City of Fredericksburg Department of Parks, Recreation and Events (FPRE) invites all City of Fredericksburg residents to celebrate the Longest Day of Play on Thursday, June 20. Organized by the Virginia Recreation & Park Society (VRPS), Play All Day VA, aims to promote the importance of PLAY for all ages, abilities and interests through local parks and free or discounted recreational programming.
Celebrated on the summer solstice (the longest day of the year), Play All Day VA is an opportunity for everyone to get out and discover all that FPRE offers throughout the community.
To celebrate, FPRE encourages everyone to come explore new parks or try a new activity. Some scheduled activities include:
• Free fishing, boat launches, and extended hours at Motts Run Reservoir
• Sunrise yoga at Riverfront Park
• Preschool Adventure Play at Snowden Park
• Mini Market at Hurkamp Park
• Play All Day Cook Out at Snowden Park
