Halloween
September is coming to an end and candy and costumes line the aisles of local stores. That can only mean one thing: Halloween is right around the corner.
This fall, Parks and Recreation is offering a two fun filled Halloween events for kids.
The Kleeman Haunted Mansion takes place October 24 at the Kleeman Community Center. Come tour the “haunted mansion” that is sure to give you a few fun frights!
New this year is the Fright on Franklin event where kids can trick-or-treat safely with their parents on Franklin Street. Be sure to start working on your costume now to win the best costume contest. Fright on Franklin takes place October 31.
Stay tuned for more spooky details about these two exciting events.
Safety Day
Local car dealer Jenkins and Wynne and Clarksville Parks and Recreation are joining forces to host Safety Saturday on October 17. Kids and parents can learn about ways to be safe at home, in the car and at school while having fun at the event.
Local safety professionals will be on site with emergency vehicles for the kids to explore. Other fun activities include a coloring contest, a visit from the Chick-fil-A Cow, the Shoney Bear and more. The first sixty children at the event will also receive a special prize courtesy of Jenkins and Wynne.
Safety Saturday is from 9 until noon, and admission is free. It is a great way for kids and parents to learn about safety.
Bark Park Grand Opening
Bark Park
We hope you plan to join us this upcoming Saturday for the Heritage Park Bark Park Grand Opening Celebration. Dogs, owners and dog lovers are sure to have fun at this event that officially kicks off the opening of the new park.
Some of the fun includes fly ball demonstrations, agility demonstrations, doggie costume contest, a dog-owner look-alike contest, door prizes and dog related booths.
Bring your dog for a day of fun and a preview of the new park. The event takes place from 1-3p.m. on October 10 at the new Bark Park which is right past the skate park in Heritage Park.
Last Jammin’ in the Alley of the season
Don’t miss this year’s last Jammin’ in the Alley on October 16. This month’s concert will conclude the concert series that began in May. The featured artist at the Friday night show is Blues News. Blues News is a group of local musicians who love playing the soulful sounds of blues music. The fall weather should serve as the perfect back drop to this month’s performance.
The concert begins at 7p.m. on Strawberry Alley. Chairs will be provided along with outdoor dining from the Strawberry Alley restaurants Edwards, Brunie’s and the Front Page Deli. Grab your friends, kids and family and join us for some Jammin’ in the Alley.

You can also pick up a copy of the guide at any of the Parks and Recreation events or at our office located at 102 Public Square.
