Game Night at Awbrey Park – Tuesday, Oct 4 – 5 to 7 PM

Posted on October 3, 2022 by Gary Haliski

Our ninth Game Night will be at Awbrey Park. If you haven’t visited this 7-acre gem of a park, this would be a great time to do so. Awbrey Park features two play areas, one for toddlers through age 5 and one play area for 6 to 10-year-olds. There is also a large playing field. Finally, two bridges that cross over Spring Creek lead to a small forested area that is a wonderful place to bird-watch or look for salamanders and newts.

So please join your Santa Clara neighbors at Awbrey Park. We will have games for children and free Chocolate Bliss bars while they last. There will be information available about the proposed River Road – Santa Clara Neighborhood Plan as well as the Santa Clara Community Foundation. The Foundation was formed to fund community-focused projects in the neighborhood, like the old schoolhouse renovation.

Oct 4 Awbrey Park from 5 to 7 PM Map and directions (Corner of River Road and Spring Creek Dr)
