Big changes are coming to Sparks Foundation County Park! On September 8, our beloved playground will begin its replacement. While we know this playground holds tons of memories, we’re thrilled to bring you an incredible new playground with sliding, swinging, spinning, climbing, and balancing play pieces, plus fresh rubber surfacing for maximum accessibility. This new playground is designed for fun, inclusivity, and generations of new memories. We can’t wait for you to see what’s coming! 💙🌳✨

🏓🌳🌤️ Jackson County Pickleball Clinic 2026 was AMAZING!!! 🏓🌳🌤️

A huge thank you to all of our amazing participants, parents, and volunteers who helped make this event possible! We truly appreciate everyone who came out and made the day so special.

A special shoutout to the Kiwanis Club of Jackson, Michigan for generously providing pizza for lunch, and to the Jackson Area Pickleball Association for their incredible instruction and for spending time working with the kiddos. Your support means so much to us, and we appreciate you all! ❤️

We’re already looking forward to seeing everyone again next year! 🏓☀️🌳
