Summary

Parks staff provided fall participation figures: 309 pickleball players, 165 soccer participants, 123 flag football participants, 34 T‑ball and 37 girls volleyball participants; several programs are new this year and staff expect growth.

Staff presented fall league participation counts and said several programs — including a new T‑ball night under the lights — are gaining traction.

The staff member reported specific numbers: "Football, we have or flag football, we have a 123 participants. Soccer, we had a 165. Pickleball participants, we have 309. T ball... we had 34 there. And girls volleyball, we have 37."
