Area parks with sports facilities are preparing to host a slew of tournaments and events over the next few months.
Even though Plant City’s Parks and Recreation Department has not been able to get back up to full programming, there’s still quite a bit of activity scheduled to come to Plant City’s sports parks to start 2021.
Do you need something fun to do on a weekend? Do you enjoy watching sports at all levels? Below is a list of tournaments and events scheduled to come to a park near you from now through March. Do keep in mind, however, that anything listed is subject to change or cancellation if COVID-19 rears its ugly head in the area again.
“We understand the need for our youths to stay active and our families to participate in community events, but in the interest of public health, we may be forced to cancel or postpone some activities with little to no advance notice,” Parks and Recreation Department Director Jack Holland said in a December press release. “We hope it doesn’t get to that point. If there are any changes that affect our programming or event permitting, we will reach out as soon as we know. Please continue to be proactive and social distance, wear face coverings when not distanced, and sanitize frequently. With vaccine availability for the general public still a few months away, we have to continue doing the right thing for ourselves and families as well as our friends and neighbors.”
