A brand new, virtual program from the Recreation Department! 

Each week on Friday we’ll help you discover some fun activities that you can do by yourself or with your family.

When you’ve completed each activity, share pictures of you and your family’s hunt on your social media and tag the City and use the hashtag #LoveLaVista.
