Every Thursday in July and August residents can visit Discovery Green from 7 p.m. – 10 p.m. for "Park after Dark."
The park has also extended its Gateway Fountain closing hours to 10 p.m., allowing residents to cool off once the sun sets.
During these times, Discovery Green will hold activities such as salsa dancing, gardening classes, and more. Food trucks including Burger Joint and Pop Life Popcorn, as well as vendors such as FurrEver Doggie and Charmify will be at the park.
The salsa classes will be offered by Strictly Street Salsa from 7p.m. – 8 p.m.
Rocket Dog, an "art cart" filled games such as bocce ball, horseshoes, and more, will be offered from 7 p.m. – 9:45 p.m.
The gardening class will be offered by La Lydia Garden Boutique from 8 p.m. – 9 p.m.
“With new lighting installed at Discovery Green the evening hours are the perfect time to beat the heat,” the statement said.
