More Maranda Park Parties are still to come this summer, including a popular one in Kentwood this Thursday from noon-2. To get families in the mood, SNN is sharing snapshots of the kickoff event at Lamar Park in Wyoming.
The purpose of the park parties “are simply to bring people together to celebrate the beauty and diversity of where they live,” Maranda said. “It’s a chance to offer free fun for everyone.
This is the 24th consecutive year for Maranda Park Parties, events with community resources, activities for children, and even lunches for children. More than 40,000 people attended Maranda Park Parties in 2017, and hundreds of students are bused to these events free of charge.
Why Park Parties? Maranda explained “when children come together and spend time playing and learning with no boundaries or barriers, beautiful things happen.”
