Free Popsicles at the Park this Month

Did you know July is Parks and Recreation Month? To celebrate, the Cleburne Parks and Recreation Department will be hosting three Parks and Popsicles events this month.

At the event, we’ll be giving out free popsicles. While you’re cooling off with the frozen treat, you’ll be able to hang out in the park, play lawn games and get to know our Parks and Rec crew a bit better.

Wednesday, July 12 from 10 a.m. to noon at P.D. Lacewell Park (700 Granbury St.)
Thursday, July 20 from 1 to 3 p.m. at Carver Park (600 Park St.)
Saturday, July 29 from 10 a.m. to noon at Hulen Park (301 W. Westhill Dr.)

A Quick Swimming Safety Reminder

As you’re taking a dip in some water this summer, remember to prioritize safety! The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has a list of ways to prevent drowning, including learning the basics of swimming, supervising children and wearing a life jacket.

Just in case you didn't know, Lake Pat Cleburne has two community life jacket stations. The life jackets are free to use, but please remember to put them back afterward so others can use them as well. View more about swimming safety tips in this video by the Cleburne Fire Department.
