It
takes a community to raise children and it took a community to build Howe’s park and 11-acre
Park, over 30
years ago. Spring through fall, you will hear the sounds of children and families enjoying the
park and
many of its recreational activities. Children laugh and giggle while playing on the colorful
modern
playground equipment furnished by the FRED Ethyl Grant. Families enjoy birthday parties and
family reunions
under the shelter while playing a game of rolle bolle on the court or horse shoes at the pit.
Enjoy the
great American pastime watching the children playing baseball at the four baseball/softball
diamonds.
Youth sports are a community cornerstone. Health and wellness is important to childhood growth. A variety of organized sports activities for children of all ages are available.
Soccer
leagues are available for all children pre-school (age four) to fifth grade every
spring and
fall. League play is organized and directed by volunteers. League play is for six weeks.
Coaching
assistance, encouragement, and support is provided to all children participating in the
program. Registration fees $25 per child max of $50 per family and registration forms are
distributed
through Annawan schools. More information can be found at annawanyouthsports7.wixsite.com/home
