Port Huron Parks and Recreation released their winter program guide, and they are focusing on the area’s senior citizens.
“The pandemic has impacted everyone, but especially seniors since they are at higher risk,” said Melanie Chandler, Port Huron Recreation Department co-supervisor. “We hope to relieve their isolation by safely socializing outdoors with them for a few minutes and giving them something fun to do when we leave,” she said.
One offering, Parking Lot Bingo, was so successful in the fall that the department is bringing it back to McMorran Place every Tuesday from January 19th through February 9th. The 45-minute game will start at 3:30 pm.
Outdoor fun is also a theme, and they hope to have two ice rinks available in the city if the weather cooperates. Ice rinks would be located at Palmer Park and Lincoln Park.
