Palm Bay Parks and Recreation is proud to present "Palm Bay Play Day" on Saturday, March 20, 2010. Play Day 2010 will consist of recreational activities for all ages throughout the City, in all of the City's 23 parks.

The department is currently seeking organizations and individuals who may be interested in leading one of these activities.

Palm Bay was recently named a "Playful City USA" community by KaBOOM! for the second year in a row. KaBoom! is a national non-profit organization that empowers communities to build playgrounds, with the goal of a great place to play within walking distance of every child in America.

Fore more information, or to participate in the event, please call (321) 409-7105.

Palm Bay was chartered on January 16th, 1960 and is looking forward to a year-long celebration with several events planned throughout the next year.  The Palm Bay Recreation Advisory Board (RAB) will be the core committee to formulate and carry out these planned events. The RAB is looking for both input and assistance with this task.  If you have any ideas you would like to see the city do for this celebration, please put them in writing to the Palm Bay Parks and Recreation Department, 1150 DeGroodt Rd., Palm Bay, FL 32908. For more information email us at palmbayturns50@pbfl.org or call (321) 953-8961.  The RAB is also forming various event committees and would like Palm Bay citizens to participate on those committees.  The 50th Anniversary Committee meets every second and fourth Tuesday of the month at 7:00pm at the Palm Bay Community Center, 1502 Port Malabar Blvd.  The public is invited.
