Home MenuCommunity Activities
Fostering community and forging meaningful connections are critical to the Milton Parks and Recreation Department’s mission. To that end, the City has created, organized, and facilitated community activities so that people – especially adults – can come together and bond over shared interests as well as a desire to have fun, worthwhile experiences.
Below you’ll find community activities in that vein. This webpage will be updated twice a year to reflect new and updated offerings. If you have questions about what’s below or have ideas for a new experience along these lines, please contact Parks and Recreation Specialist Micaela Burke at Micaela.Burke@miltonga.gov.
Parents of young children often look for people to meet and places to go that are safe, enjoyable and worthwhile for young and old. These playgroups at City facilities can ideally plant the seeds for special friendships for children and parents alike.
