Earth and Arbor Week

During the week of April 22-27, Mendota Heights celebrated Earth and Arbor Day with several events and educational opportunities, including Find Lily the Frog, daily environmental tips, the announcement of the first Annual Oak Awards, and the kick-off to Fresh Air Fridays.

At the Tricia and the Toonies ENVIRO-Show, kids and adults enjoyed colorful puppet characters, while learning more about resources, recycling and caring for the environment. ?

The City-wide Clean Up Event brought residents and volunteer groups to clean up our parks and public open spaces, collecting bags of trash and helping to keep the City and the environment clean. One baseball team even made the decision to clean up the park instead of having their scheduled practice.

*Thanks to all who participated last week!*

Pickleball
What's the Hype About Pickleball?

Pickleball is a?paddle sport in which players hit a perforated, hollow plastic ball with paddles over a net until one side is unable to return the ball or commits a rule infraction. It was invented in 1965 as a children's backyard game in the United States and from 2021-2023, the sport was named the fastest-growing sport in the United States by the Sports and Fitness Industry Association.
