Parks & Recreation to Host Neighborhood Photo Challenge
Edina, Minn., May 3, 2017 – In honor of Kids to Parks Day May 20, the City of Edina’s Parks &
Recreation Department is hosting a neighborhood photo challenge.
“We would really love to see more families use the amazing parks located just down the street from
them,” said Recreation Supervisor Amanda Clarke, who helped develop the photo challenge.
Parks & Recreation encourages families to snap pictures of their kids at their local parks. The
neighborhood park with the most photo submissions will qualify to be featured in the City’s monthly
newsletter, Edition: Edina, which comes out in the Sun Current newspaper the first week of every
month. Use the hashtag “#EdinaParks” and make sure to include the location in the post on social
media. The photo contest will end May 20 at midnight.
“We can’t wait to see all of the fun pictures families send into us,” said Clarke.
Kids to Parks Day is a national movement dedicated to kids’ outdoor play in local parks. The
National Park Trust organizes the day along with 19 other national collaborators. More than 731,000
participants enjoyed 1,130 park events across the country in 2016.
For more information about the photo contest, contact Clarke at aclarke@EdinaMN.gov.
