For Father’s Day, there will be putt putt in Kiwanis Park Sunday, June 15, from 1 to 7 p.m. This is a free community event.

For one day only, Kiwanis Park will be transformed into a full 18-hole miniature golf course, offering families, friends and visitors of all ages a chance to test their putting skills in a beautiful outdoor setting. And the best part? It’s completely free to play! All putters, balls and scorecards will be provided on-site—just show up and tee off.

While this event falls on Father’s Day, it’s not just “fore” the dads. Whether you’re spending the day with family, enjoying time with friends or simply looking for a fun way to spend your Sunday, everyone is welcome to participate. No registration is required—just walk up and play.

In addition to the mini golf fun, food trucks will be on-site serving a wide selection of food, drinks and snacks for purchase throughout the day, so you can grab a bite between rounds or enjoy a treat while relaxing in the park.
