Really proud of this one. NEW Oakland Soccer League at @SnCoParksRec. ⚽️ Today was the opening day of the league and it was a lot of fun. We played on “Bronco Field” at Oakland-Billard Park. I officiated two games with some help from Ellie. Everyone seemed to have a good time. 👏🏻

Thanks to @SnCoParksRec for allowing us to train and enjoy the beauty of Skyline Park at Burnett’s Mound.
Note: TPD officers received permission to ride motorcycles on the trails at Skyline Park for this training exercise. Please follow all Shawnee County Parks + Recreation guidance as posted at each park.

2. Drink plenty of water.
3. Limit physical activity to cooler parts of the day.

This morning, @SnCoParksRec held a ribbon cutting ceremony for the new Gage Park mini-train. A group of raffle winners had the opportunity to take the first ride. Due to cold weather, the train will not run the rest of today, but rides will be free tomorrow to Sunday.
