April 24th, 2025 by Ric Hanson
(Atlantic, Iowa) – Atlantic Parks and Recreation Department Advisory Commission Chair Kevin Ferguson has announced a new monthly family game, will celebrating Atlantic’s parks. The game is themed “Parks, Picnics, and Post.”
Ferguson said the promotion kicks-off in May, with the Atlantic Dog Park near the Schildberg Recreation area.
Different parks will be highlighted each month.
The community is invited to explore the featured park, take a photo of their group or family enjoying their time there, and submit it to the Atlantic Parks and Recreation Facebook Page for a public vote on the favorite picture. Again, your first assignment, if you will, is to visit the Dog Park and submit your pictures to the Parks & Rec Facebook page.
Ferguson mentioned that participants can earn bonus points for displaying creative signs, such as “I Love ATLANTIC PARKS!” It’s not clear if there will prizes for photos that get the most votes, but proud pooch owners will definitely have “Bragging rights,” according to Ferguson.
