2017 went by so fast … that busyness has brought us into 2018.

In today’s hectic lifestyle, it’s easy to forget that taking time to enjoy each day is important to our health and well-being. Post Falls Parks & Recreation Department is committed to ensuring that every resident has an opportunity to experience outstanding recreational activities and park facilities that enhance your quality of life by helping you to stay healthy and fit, build relationships with family, friends and the community.

Here are a few things to experience this spring; Arbor Day celebration, the breath-taking flowing of the falls, the Centennial Trail, our

Memorial Day ceremony at Evergreen Cemetery, and the wild flowers in bloom in many of our parks. These can all be enjoyed on a daily basis, in addition to the many recreational activities you will find throughout this brochure.

We encourage all members of our community to join us in promoting an active and healthy lifestyle. To give yourself a break, and to stop and smell the wildflowers. There is no better time to get started than today.
