STEP INTO FALL WITH CARROLL
COUNTY RECREATION & PARKS!
Welcome to Fall with Carroll County Recreation & Parks! We are excited to introduce some new
virtual programs and programs in the parks, as well as a new Drive-Thru Trunk or Treat event in
October, and bring back one of our favorites, Santa Calling in December.
This year has been different, to say the least, we are navigating and always thinking of new creative
and fun ways to bring programs and activities to the community in our parks and to do at home in
your own back yard or in your living room as a family!
We can't wait to see YOU this Fall in the parks!
