Your Kyle Parks and Recreation Department has a full calendar of events for February. We have something for everyone regardless of age, interest or lifestyle. Pick a few dates and join us.

With Market Days moving back to City Square Park under the shady oak trees, its time to get your vendor booth space for the entire year. First Saturdays, April through November, crafts, produce and music will be downtown.

Kyle Fair vendor booths go on sale to the public. The Fair is scheduled for October 14- 17 this year and booth spaces always sell out in September. Get your space now before they are gone.

February 17
Adult Kickball League Spring Season begins with team registration deadline and coaches meeting at 6:30 p.m. Get your team together for this exciting program as games begin in March.

February 27
The 7th Annual Creek Clean Up project at Steeplechase Park begins at 9 a.m. and concludes with pizza lunch at noon. Join other citizens and clean up Plum Creek that runs through Steeplechase Park and the area around the new Lake Kyle and Plum Creek Preserve & Nature Trail. Students, civic organizations and volunteers are needed to haul out thousands of pounds of trash and debris from the watershed which improves the water quality of our city’s waterway. Sponsors are also needed for event t-shirts, food, drinks and supplies. Partners include Plum Creek Watershed Partners, GBRA, Texas A&M Agri-Life and Keep Texas Beautiful. In 2009 over 400 volunteers cleaned the creek. Our goal this year is 450.
