These are all great ideas. I might add a 5 de Mayo celebration, a Day of the Child/Dia del Nino festival, and a dog-related event tied to Crest Lake's popular dog park. Kudos to Skycrest residents for your wonderful ideas and initiative!

What about a 5k around the lake? They have a nice long sidewalk, which would make for a good small race. Break up by age groups, so not everyone is racing at the same time.

Thanks Laurrie M, Michael D, and Michael C for the suggestions. The Skycrest Neighbors Association event committee meets tonight to set the tone for this challenge. I am hopeful that there will be some more information to share at our Clearwater Neighborhoods Coalition meeting on Feb 4th. Doggy Date Night complete with K-9 Demo and Animal Health Services onsite, Glow in the Dark Bicycle Ride and a few other things are being discussed. Thanks everyone and keep those suggestions coming. I would like to see this park bring a lot of smiles to more faces.

Like that doggy date night idea, I know that our three dogs love to walk around the park.

Parking area for food trucks might be nice too.

A neighborhood yard sale is another idea and a doggie contest on Halloween for cutest dressed. Another idea would be dog and cat vacinations or adoptions. I love
this park and take my small dog there about three times a week.
