Moores Park

Our Moores Park Kids Carnival is next Friday, July 17 from 6-8 p.m. We’ll have activities for families including a bounce house, a face painter, REACH art activities, and a cake walk. There will also be popcorn, cotton candy, hot dogs, soda, and water for sale. This is going to be another great summer event.

We’re looking for donations and volunteers if you can help too! Please fill out our Sign-Up form if you can set-up, take down, serve food,  or take tickets. If you’d like to give a monetary donation or can donate any of the following items: condiments (ketchup, mustard, relish), plastic or paper plates, napkins, plastic spoons, hot dog buns, watermelon, cookies, or cake please email president@mooresparkneighborhood.com. We try to keep this annual event a low-cost way for families to come out and enjoy the park.

Annual MPNO Potluck in the Park: Wednesday, July 8 from 6:30-8:00 p.m. in the Moores Park Pavilion. Bring a dish to pass, connect with your neighbors and enjoy an evening in the park.

Park Visioning Series #2: Meet in the Moores Park Pavilion at 6:30pm. We’ll cover the middle section of the park, walk it and assess its conditions. This is to create a ‘wish list’ for a new Master Plan. The first session was great – we covered the west end of the park and came up with lots of great ideas for improving the pavilion and fishing areas as well as where some basic maintenance needs to happen.

What a huge success – Thanks to the Lansing Unionized Vaudeville Spectacle (LUVS) for putting on an amazing show! And thanks to the Lansing Parks and Recreation department for giving Moores Park a chance to host. We’d also like to give a shout-out to those who were apart of this: Elm Street Recording, 517 Shirts, REACH Studio Art Center, Good Truckin’ Food, Clint’s Hot Dogs, Stella’s Crazy Good Caramel Corn, Lake Trust Credit Union, Historical Society of Greater Lansing, Mid-MEAC, Lindsay Gluf, our neighborhood volunteers (Andy, Katie, Shirley, Dave to name a few), everyone who came out to watch and support the concert, and of course, our President Natalie Molnar and Vice-President Amy Valleau! If you did not get a chance to make it, here are a few photos from the June 10 event:
