Events
The Recreation Section produces more than 40 special events and programs throughout the year. These events and activities are generally free or low cost. Polk County Parks and Recreation’s special events range in size from small, community-based events that target individual communities to large scale events which are often tied to a holiday or certain interest groups.
- Jack-o-Lantern Jamboree
- Color the Trail (10K, 5K and 1-mile runs)
- Egg-a-Palooza
- Family Fun Day
