2021 Recreation and Event Programming
2020 was a tough year. A global pandemic, Stay at Home Orders, event cancellations, changes
to school, and modification to life as we know it. Now, it’s 2021 – a new year to shine, grow, or
try something new – all while adhering to current COVID-19 public health recommendations. At
the City of Coon Rapids, staff have worked to create programming and events that aim to build
community, and bring joy to residents… while also adhering to social distancing and other public
health guidelines.
In this recreation guide, you will find some new activities for kids, some old favorites and some
events that are planned to occur in 2021 with public health guidelines in mind. Some other events
Ryan Gunderson that are usually “staples” may be planned for later in the year – time will tell. We hope you look at
Recreation Supervisor
this guide and find something you may want to try or mark your calendar for an upcoming event.
We look forward to seeing you!
